  Hi
  
  localechooser writes /etc/default/locale with quotes protecting LANG and 
LANGUAGE; typically after an install the file contains something like:
  LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
  
  however pam_env expects VAR=VALUE lines, without quotes.  This causes
  LANG to be set literally to "en_US.UTF-8" with the quotes; this is of
  course not a valid locale name.
  
  [ I raised this bug to Michael Vogt during UDS as I was seeing this
  after using language-selector, he fixed language-selector to write
  LANG=foo instead of LANG="foo", but this only fixes the issue for people
  who will run language-selector in the future. ]

+ I believe we should change pam_env to strip quotes, perhaps only for
  certain env vars; we can also change localechooser to stop using quotes
  for new installs.
  
  Cheers
