Well, the format of locale.conf is meant to be sourceable by sh/bash,
so I
don't expect it to ever change. It's also covered by the official
"stability promise" [1].
A better question is what exactly pam_env.so expects... Last time I
couldn't quite figure out when it wants a key=value file and when it
wants
its own special "foo DEFAULT=bar" format, and in fact the manual
doesn't
seem to match the actual behavior... Does it autodetect or something?
The 'key=value' format works by accident but I plan to make it official
one day.
