Correct: LC_ALL is not set (in fact, LANG and LC_MESSAGES are the only
two locale-related variables I've set).

Fair enough, thanks for investigating: ruby-gettext is surely the next
most likely candidate, after apt-listbugs. The upload history of the
package seems indeed to match (even more properly than apt-listbugs'
upload history, in fact): I've installed ruby-gettext 2.2.1-3, which has
been uploaded a week ago.

Cheers.
