You set the locale for root while installing, this has nothing to do with user settings what so ever. If you remove bash and a different program fails to install, do you think this is an error of the program bring installed?
If locales are not properly set up, then luatex fails to build a format, this is independent from the Debian packaging. Anyway, you reopened the bug, so let's enjoy it.
