I have those values in place, partly as a result of doing 'export
LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en', and I now have 'locale' output identical to
yours, but not the wanted 'dirs-first' behaviouir:
zoidberg@alison:~$ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

Do you have LS_OPTIONS set, or 'ls' aliased?
If I may make so bold as to speak for others too, I hate this locale
stuff that has descended on us since etch came into the world. Is
there a nice dummy-friendly Debian Locale How-To? How, for instance,
did you *set* those locale values shown in your post?
Go Sox.
Best regards,
