However, it is slightly masked by the fact, that gnome-control-center will update the system locale (in /etc/default/locale) along with the user locale (in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER) if it considers you an "Administrator" (being in the sudo group tends to do that). Fortunately, this bug is known [0] and fixed [1] upstream. According to the upstream git log, the fix did make it into version 3.13.91, which has recently been uploaded to experimental[2]. I am therefore asking you, to either backport the fix to version 3.12 (which shouldn't be too difficult) or make sure that 3.14 actually makes it into jessie. Otherwise users without administrative privileges will be completely unable to change the language of the user interface (which is the reason why I now think that Severity: important is appropriate).
