Try set LANG in /etc/environment along these lines:
LANG="en.US.UTF-8"

Suppose you have perl program called foo, you have to run it as:
$ LANG=C foo

No. Use "dpkg-reconfigure locales" instead.

Would you care to explain your rationale for this?
Is it merely the debian way, or are there other ramifications?

On a Debian system it works and is the preferred way. Also, if the
locale is changed to one not previously selected the new locale will be
generated. Merely editing a file wouldn't seem to force this action.
So, yes, doing things the "Debian way" on a Debian based system does
have other ramifications.
