I systematically deactivate sshd's AcceptEnv because I like the principle of least-surprise, and locales are a big part of the surprising context and source of many subtle bugs. It works in my context where mostly admins use SSH and we prefer the 'universal english' messages although we're not native english speakers. But that's a very specific context and I'm not sure if the cloud images want to reflect that. Meanwhile Debian has always been very good and proficient at promoting a wide support for many languages, thus I think it would be considered rude to remove locale passing thru SSH in the cloud images - plus it's always been there... So IMHO let's keep "AcceptEnv LANG LC_*" and I'll keep deactivating it on my side :).
