Bug Description
Binary package hint: gdm
I had installed gdm 2.30.2.
But this morning I have received one update to gdm 2.30.2.
Well, now my LANG is override with GDM_LANG. My LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" and GDM_LANG="es_ES".
if actual version of GDM doesn't permit choose any language, why overrides my locales with GDM_LANG?

There's a very similar bug in maverick, see Bug #746796. The important part of the problem seems to be that we upgraded from a backported gdm version to a security update gdm version.
