I've run into this on a couple of installs using an older Sarge beta 
installer; I've fixed it by re-running "dpkg-reconfigure locales", 
selecting all three US_EN entries, and then on the next screen choosing 
the first EN_US entry. I don't really understand what I did, but it got 
rid of the problem for me on both boxes.
