Bug#708816: grub-common: For ASCII, grub-mkconfig needs to set LC_ALL, not just LANG

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.00-14
Severity: minor

Hello,

When GRUB_TERMINAL(_OUTPUT) is set to console or serial or ofconsole,
grub-mkconfig sets the LANG environment variable to C.  This helps keep
the boot menu readable, but I have the LC_MESSAGES environment variable
set too, and it was not overridden by the LANG=C setting.  I fixed the
problem by setting LC_ALL to C.

Thanks,
	Ken
