locales default setup for first installs
Some time ago it was suggested (here or at boot-floppies@packages, I
can't remember) that the installation system should create a LANG=<locale>
line in /etc/profile, /etc/environment or any other file alike, that
would define the default locale for the system, and may be overruled in
the users' ~/.<whatever-your-shell-uses>.
I would like to implement that for hamm's boot-floppies, as that would
make Debian the first Linux distribution that supports Latin1 "out of
the box".
The question is, where should I put that line?
/etc/profile : Not every shell uses it. (And I'm not sure that setting
root's locale to anything other than C won't cause problems with daemons,
cron scripts and anything else that runs automatically).
/etc/environment : Which program/s use that? (same concerns about root's
locale).
/etc/skel/.<whatever> That may be tricky, as it may mean other packages
should be aware of that line, and don't overwrite it.
Suggestions?
