Hi Luca,

Yes, I know now that localectl should not be used (sadly) to change the 
configuration in Debian.
I discovered this with Trixie which now prevents these actions using 
D-Bus policies...

But the problem I'm mentioning here is precisely this blocking which is 
not entirely correct :
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/blob/debian/master/debian/extra/dbus-1/system.d/systemd-localed-read-only.conf

I noticed that on some machines these restrictions were not being applied :
   - D-Bus configuration files inside a same folder are included in 
undefined order
   - so it may happen that your override is loaded before the file 
"org.freedesktop.locale1.conf"that authorizes everything

It's not a big deal, but it's quite annoying to have identical systems 
that react differently.
