Your solution is just fine. Does the "us" locale differ from the default
"C" locale, and if so, are those differences important to you?
(Alternatively, you can ask the question "Why did I set LANG="us" in the
first place?") I don't have a "us" locale in /usr/lib/locale so I can't
check for sure, but I'd be very suprised if the "us" locale differed in
any useful significant way from the default "C" locale.
