If it makes sense, for sure :)

I've just implemented that:

  https://github.com/grml/grml-debootstrap/commit/ddf2a40ee91694dc0f8006cfbc9844acd4f36a68

Available in the automatically generated Debian packages at:

  http://jenkins.grml.org/job/grml-debootstrap-binaries/architecture=amd64/

If you need to support that change in an older grml-debootstrap
version just execute 'update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8' in the
chroot/installed system.
