Bastian,
If I understand the idea behind having locales-all installed, you wanted
to avoid such messages for our end users ?

perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LANG = "fr_FR.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system


( when logging to a server over ssh from a system with french locales set )

Then if this case, maybe we could remove the AcceptEnv LANG LC_* from
sshd_config ?
