Good idea, but bad implementation.

This one will remove the current content of /etc/environment.  That is
a bad idea.  It should append or replace the LANG variable instead.

Debian-edu store http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables in
/etc/environment.  It is a bad idea to remove them just to update the
LANG setting.
