I don't use krb5, so I don't know well, but the problem is that
/etc/environment file is not read if you use krb5.  This means that
it's not glibc problem.  It's your setting problem, or pam, or
something other problem.

(1) Is this bug occured with the latest sid?
(2) You might modify /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/security/pam_env.conf,
    are they correctly set?  You also need to read each configuration
    files and pam/libpam-krb5 documents carefully.
(3) libpam-krb5 does not modify /etc/pam.conf or something, and I think
    this is libpam-krb5 package laziness.

libpam-krb5 maintainer, could you look this bug and comment something?
