A simple typo using the update-locale script can render a system inoperable without booting into single user mode or similar:
$ sudo update-locale LANGUAGE = en_US.UTF-8
$ sudo -s
sudo: pam_open_session: Bad item passed to pam_*_item()
sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization
[test case]
$ cp /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale
$ update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANGUAGE = en_US.UTF-8
"diff -u /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale" should be empty.

"diff -u /etc/default/locale /tmp/locale" should be empty.
$ update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
The LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 line should have been replaced by LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8.
$ update-locale --locale-file /tmp/locale LANGUAGE
The LANGUAGE setting is now commented out.
[regression potential]
Apart from the general concerns about a glibc rebuild, this is a simple change to a simple script. Performing the test as in the test case section is enough to ensure it still works.
