/etc/init.d/keymap.sh Searches /etc/environment with wrong regexp.

Bug Description

/etc/init.d/keymap.sh contains

    for var in LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE; do
        value=$(egrep "^[^#]*${var}=" /etc/environment | tail -n1 | cut -d= -f2)
        eval $var=$value
    done

egrep's pattern will match FOOLANG, OLDLANG, etc., same goes for the
other values of $var. Is this intended? I assume not, hence the bug
report.
