I wonder if this regressed and/or if my configuration is different from default, because sudo -i does not appear to be reading /etc/environment any more.

Adding a line like: auth required pam_env.so to /etc/pam.d/sudo should put the environment variables from /etc/environment into the environment of an interactive session created by "sudo -i" or "su -". This is especially bad because /etc/environment is the place where Ubuntu defines the charset (with LANG) and not setting LANG to xx_XX.UTF8 causes the shell (bash) to misbehave on umlauts for example: I cannot type them on the command line and they're displayed wrong with "ls" and other tools.
