When building in a chroot or remotely it easily happens that the
locale settings of the local host don't match the chroot or remote
host. This results in a million errors like this:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_MESSAGES = "POSIX",
        LC_CTYPE = "de_DE",
        LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Debuild should check the local settings and unset any that don't work.
Or even better: To get reproducible builds always unset them.
