  localechooser set wrong language

Bug description:
  When I use ubiquity, I found the tpl_di_language is set a wrong value "en_US:", after dig it I found when  LANGUAGELIST is null, it will be set to this value. 
  Another question is why we set 'en_US' in language, while not 'en', when I use get_current_language, it will return null when the language is 'en_US'.

            33) # We have a locale
                  # Display system locale selection on backup or rerun
                  db_fset $tpl_di_locale seen false || true

                  db_get $tpl_di_locale
                  log "System locale ($tpl_di_locale) = '$RET'"

                  # The code below adds lang_COUNTRY at the beginning of the
                  # language list we got from language selection, unless it's
                  # already included or no locale exists for the combination.
                  if [ "$askedpreflocale" ]; then
                          extra_lang=$(echo "$LOCALE" | sed -e 's/[.@].*$//')
                  else
                          extra_lang=${LANGUAGE%%_*}_$COUNTRYCODE
                  fi
                  if [ "$LOCALE" != C ] && \
                     [ "$LANGUAGE" ] && [ "$COUNTRYCODE" ] && \

                     grep -q "^$extra_lang" $SUPPORTEDLOCALES; then
                          LANGUAGELIST=$extra_lang:$LANGUAGELIST
                          db_set "$tpl_di_language" "$LANGUAGELIST"
                          log "Set $tpl_di_language = '$LANGUAGELIST'"
