AFAIK, /etc/environment is deprecated. If you choose to set up a
system-wide default setting with "dpkg-reconfigure locales" (the last
dialog option) then it will be saved in /etc/default/locale. You can
change this file afterwards, but you should only set locales that have
been generated on your system.
To have user-specific settings, you can export the corresponding
environmental variables in the startup scripts of your $SHELL and/or
desktop environment.
