i also have a dim recollection of that kind.
i use
LANG="en_DK.UTF-8"
in /etc/default/locale and have no issues whatsoever (though no german  
interface -- which i don't want either).
navit is started by script with LANG=C to avoid that annoying lock-in to  
the locales country, i never really understood what caused that design  
decision anyway (what is f'rinst a french in russia supposed to do? have  
russian as locale, being unable to read anything or having french and  
being unable to search a place in russia).
