It did more than that when the bug was reported. Here's the
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section from the locale(1) man page
of Debian 6 and 7:
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
These environment variables affect each locale categories for all
locale-aware programs:
LC_CTYPE
Character classification and case conversion.
LC_COLLATE
Collation order.
LC_TIME
Date and time formats.
LC_NUMERIC
Non-monetary numeric formats.
LC_MONETARY
Monetary formats.
LC_MESSAGES
Formats of informative and diagnostic messages and
interactive responses.
LC_PAPER
Paper size.
LC_NAME
Name formats.
LC_ADDRESS
Address formats and location information.
LC_TELEPHONE
Telephone number formats.
LC_MEASUREMENT
Measurement units (Metric or Other).
LC_IDENTIFICATION
Metadata about the locale information.
This environment variable can switch against multiple locale database:
LOCPATH
The directory where locale data is stored. By default,
/usr/lib/locale is used.
This was indeed wrong. But with the change of the locale(1) man page
in Debian 8, this bug is now obsolete. I suppose that it can be
closed.
