Hi Petter,

Weird. Even my Debian etch server has the locale there. It's set by
/usr/sbin/update-locale, which in turn is called in the locale
package's postinst. Do you have the locales package installed at all?

AFAIUI /etc/environment was the old way of doing it. It still works,
but mainly as a backwards compatibility thing. However, I'm not the
locales maintainer in Debian, so take my word here with a grain of
salt.

Thanks,

Martin
