This won't change it for me. But it was a good idea I'd never had
myself.
BTW, starting it from the shell I got the following, that seems it might
actually mean something:
Starting configuration import into user data ..
.. importing layer file:///tmp/oooLocale.XXXXIPRA8b - succeeded
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale ""
Looks like I've still got some undeclared locale, or what else could ""
mean?

Well, German. And I don't have anything like "default" available -- the
next best setting is "none", which, again, didn't change a bit.
Other than that, I may only chose languages by their name, no mention of
the coding system that will be used.
