Hi Sau,

Thanks for your comments !

I didn't see much sense providing an empty/faked locale file there, as we
didn't provide a update-locale command tool either.

Meanwhile, RHEL, fedora didn't require an env file to /etc/default/locale
too. If someone really cares the env for locale related, they just need
specify their envfile instead our faked env file.

OK. I will send V2 patch dropping PR bumps and remove login reference to
/etc/default/locale too.


Thanks !
