update-locale - Modify global locale settings

       Denis Barbier <barbier@linuxfr.org>

       This  program  can  be  called  by  maintainer  scripts when Debian packages are installed or removed, it
       updates the /etc/locale.conf file to reflect changes in system configuration  related  to  global  locale
       settings.   When  variables  have  no  value assigned, they are removed from the locale file.  Some basic
       checks are performed to ensure that requested settings are valid.

       The command
               update-localeLANG=en_CA.UTF-8LANGUAGE
       sets LANG to en_CA.UTF-8 and removes definitions for LANGUAGE.

/etc/locale.conf
