[Bug 1235483] [NEW] Setting LANG from the current user

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with upstart 1.10-0ubuntu1. At default the
variable LANG is empty so that any application will use implicitly C as
language. If an upstart job is writing something to stdout or stderr
this could result in strange characters (for example on logging). Maybe
upstart can automatically export LANG from the user who executes the
upstart job.

** Affects: upstart (Ubuntu)
