Bug description:
To debug bug #1034806, I configured Russian locale support using
language-selector. Afterwards I noticed that both /etc/environment
and /etc/default/locale had been populated with the set of environment
variables. This is wrong, language-selector should *only* be updating
/etc/default/locale: all pam_env-enabled services are supposed to read
from both /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale, precisely so that
/etc/default/locale can be used as the *one* file on the system where
default locale settings are specified.
The output of language-selector is also very different from the output
of ubiquity: whereas ubiquity only sets the LANG variable, language-
selector outputs the full range of LC_* variables as well as LANG and
LANGUAGE. I don't know of any specific bugs resulting from this, but
I have seen bug reports in the past related to LC_* variables and I'm
concerned that this inconsistency will cause confusing behavior in
some cases.
