[Bug 1166841] Re: lxc-create fails if LANG is not valid

[Stéphane Graber]

I think the template currently upstream has been fixed for that case.

It currently does:
    # make sure we have the current locale defined in the container
    if [ -z "$LANG" ] || echo $LANG | grep -E -q "^C(\..+)*$"; then
        chroot $rootfs locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
        chroot $rootfs update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8
    else
        chroot $rootfs locale-gen $LANG
        chroot $rootfs update-locale LANG=$LANG
    fi

Which should catch C and C.UTF-8 and turn them to en_US  when it comes
to generating the actual locale.

We may be able to cherry-pick the fix to saucy or just wait for the next
upstream snapshot (should be around end of July).
