I want to use cz_CZ locale by default but I do not want application to
speak czech to me because it feels weird.
However, when I used the debconf to set LC_MESSAGES it entered the line
LC_MESSAGES=3Den_US
to /etc/environment. This setting does not have effect on vim, aptitude
and maybe others. Setting some nonsense value into LC_MESSAGES causes
the applications to default to english messages. The only application
that I was able to find to work correctly is bash. See example:
zbynek@alex:~$ afda
bash: afda: command not found
zbynek@alex:~$ set | grep LC_M
LC_MESSAGES=3Den_US
zbynek@alex:~$ less afdad
afdad: nen=ED souborem ani adres=E1=F8em
Even 'less' does not work. So I suspect this to be a problem with
locales in general.

If you use LC_ALL, then such configuration will be altered by the
LC_ALL value.

locales just write the selected locale into /etc/environment.
/etc/environment is used by pam - check /etc/pam.d/login.
I close this report.
