Title:
  0010-set-language.patch forces UTF-8 into use in ~/.pam_environment

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The modification done by 0010-set-language.patch (see LP: #866062)
  cause UTF-8 to be forced in ~/.pam_environment even if something else
  has been defined in /etc/default/locale.

  Example:
  /etc/default/locale contains:
  LANG="en_US"

  After login from lightdm ~/.pam_environment contains:
  LANG=en_US.UTF-8

  and that result in UTF-8 being forced to use for example in terminals.

  This problem can be traced to 0010-set-language.patch that introduces
  the function "user_locale_utf8_fix" that for some reason gets called
  every time variables are handled. As a result, it's not possible to
  have UTF-8 disabled.

  As a very crude hack, I've modified the /usr/share/language-tools
  /save-to-pam-env script to call sed and remove any UTF-8 string before
  the exit line.
