just another data point...

# uname -a

perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = "en_US:en:C",
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_US"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
hello world
# echo deb http://apt-proxy:9999/debian-sarge-amd64 stable main >/etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
...
# apt-get install locales
...
<select generate en_US ISO-8859-1, en_US.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15, en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8>
<select default en_US>
...
# perl -e 'print "hello world\n"'
hello world

to reconfigure locale generation & default locale, just run "dpkg-reconfigure locales".

i don't think that there is any difference in configuring locales between a vserver and a plain chroot (assuming both are installed using debootstrap).
