/etc/environment is parsed incorrectly

[ntz]

I use the /etc/environment file to set locale variables, and the lines are:
LC_COLLATE="fi_FI.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.UTF-8

If there are spaces after the lines, the lines that have the variable
enclosed in quotation marks are parsed incorrectly and in "locale" output
they show as:
LC_COLLATE=fi_FI.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=fi_FI.UTF-8

which then causes some programs to fail (at least the quoted format, because it has only one quote left). There is no manpage for /etc/environment that defines the right syntax and the spaces after the end of line are not the easiest thing to notice. I don't know which program parses the environment file, but this should be fixed.

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn 7.04 and bash as a shell.
