OK. Start from the beginning. How do you login to this computer? SSH? Text console? Graphical display manager? (Which one?) Do you run a desktop environment? If so, which one? Do you run some command to start it, like startx, or is it started by your DM login? If you're using a text console login or an ssh login, what shell do you use? Bash, zsh, tcsh, ...? If you're using an ssh login, what do your locales look like on the client system, before you ssh to the Debian system? If you don't *normally* use a text console login, try doing one. Press Ctrl-Alt-F2, and then login on tty2, and see what your locales are. In this login session, you *only* have variables that are set up by PAM and your login shell. If you see the undesired variables here, then you know it's coming from one of those two places. If you don't see the undesired variables in the text console login, then they're coming from somewhere else -- from the client system, if this is an ssh login, or from your desktop environment, etc.
