[Reportbug-maint] Bug#546276: reportbug: set locale to C before running package-specific info script

Package: reportbug
Version: 4.6
Severity: normal

My locale is ru_RU.UTF-8. When I run reportbug to report an issue in
aptitude, it generates e-mail with text on russian like this:

    ...
    -- Package-specific info:
    aptitude 0.4.11.11 скомпилировано в Aug  3 2009 16:22:21
    Компилятор: g++ 4.3.3
    Скомпилировано с помощью:
      apt версии 4.8.0
      Версия NCurses 5.7
      Версия libsigc++: 2.0.18
      Поддержка ept включена.
    ...

I think that localized information is not useful in a bug report, so
package-specific information script should be called with "C" locale.
