With what version of Debian was this system originally installed? The locales package in Debian has created /etc/environment on install since 2002, so AFAIK it should be available on most systems installed with sarge or later, and I believe it should be available on many systems installed with woody. But yes, nothing guarantees the creation of the file, so it's best if the pam packages take responsibility for this on install.
