You are right, this is a good question. There has been another report
about the same issue, so we have to understand why it happens. At the
moment, I can only think of this scenario:
* installation in German
* after installation is complete, run 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and
select en_US.
Is this what happened? If not, can you please describe how to reproduce
your settings?
