Actually, this patch will not really fix anything, because the ru_RU.KOI8-R locale needs to have been previously generated and installed on the system, for this to work. Otherwise, declaring LANG and LC_ALL (with or without the export statement) will always fall back to the C locale that is the default on Debian's archive buildd network.
The only way we could sort-of fix this would be to Build-Depends upon "locales-all" to ensure that KOI8-R is always generated and installed before we start the build. However, I don't like that solution, because Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu don't offer that same locales-all metapackage and I want to avoid forking the packaging. Alternately, we could call 'locale-gen' in early building stages to generate the locale, before we proceed with building the dictionaries. However, I'm not sure how we'd delete the locale during cleanup after the build process is complete. Still, it puzzles me how we managed to build the package just fine until recently without all that fuzz.
