I do not desire to use EUC-JP, not only inside the terminal
but also in the system level.

Seems the matter a little complicated.
Then, let's make it simple.

It seems the problem is that "dpkg-reconfigure locales"
does not reflect a system locales correctly.

If you choose Locale="NONE" by that command,
I expect "ja_JP.EUC-JP" will not configure
as a system default.

Nevertheless, a "locale command" displays as:

# locale
LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP
LANGUAGE=ja_JP:ja:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_NUMERIC="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_TIME="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_COLLATE="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_MONETARY="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_MESSAGES="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_PAPER="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_NAME="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_ADDRESS="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_TELEPHONE="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ja_JP.EUC-JP"
LC_ALL=


Is this an expected behaviour in Debian Etch?

Regards.
