Well, it's a perl issue - if LANG Is set incorrectly, even trivial perl
scripts gripe at you:

joey@kite:~>LANG=foo perl -e 1
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "foo"
   are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Dselect uses perl for its access method configuration, plus of course it can
install debian packages that use perl.
