I'm admitting that LANG=en_US.UTF-8 gets set by a local user configuration file. (zshenv)
This is really intended behaviour (and it worked until upgrading to feisty; seems like edgy doesn't set $LANGUAGE). (gdm isn't the cause for that.)

I guess it's really a very uncommon configuration. Still, apt is showing something else than it's expecting.
