[Grml] LANG variable, locales

Hi!

Would you agree, that a system created by grml-debootstrap should be
as close to stock Debian as possible?

- In a default Wheezy installation, the LANG variable is set to
en_US.UTF-8.
- In system created by grml-debootstrap. the LANG variable is empty.

Also the output of `locale` differs. [1]

Am I missing an option in grml-debootstrap?

Should this be added to grml-debootstrap?

What is the recommended way (from a Debian derivative perspective)
changing the default of `locale`?

Cheers,
adrelanos
