I understand, and -7 has been uploaded yesterday with a slightly different fix: /etc/environment is not modified at all in postinst, but in config, default locale is read from /etc/environment when upgrading from locales < 2.3.6-5 and from /etc/default/locale otherwise. A NEWS.Debian file has also been added, but I realize that its wording may be improved to tell that some applications may still read values from /etc/environment, will fix it later. 2.3.6-7 is waiting in the NEW queue.
