Bug#596695: locales: cannot setup locale

[Krasu <ksquirrel.iv@gmail.com>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.11.2-2
Severity: important

I'm using fresh Squeeze install from i386 netinst image. I chose "United
States" language and country "Belarus" during installation. Now I cannot change
my locale to ru_RU.UTF-8:

# dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  ru_RU.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
*** update-locale: Error: LANGUAGE ("en_US:en") is not compatible with LANG
(ru_RU.UTF-8)

# cat /etc/default/locale
#  File generated by update-locale
#LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE="en_US:en"

If I comment out LANGUAGE="en_US:en" in /etc/default/locale, everything works.
