What blade means by a "proper" locale specification, and what
base-config expects to find in $LANG, is something like "en_GB", "fr_CA"
or "ja_JP". But dbootstrap doesn't know anything about territories and
it just outputs "en", "fr" and "ja".
This whole business is pretty much a mess. But I think we can find a
way to make it work in woody, even if it isn't all that elegant.
