Title:
  Incorrect syntax when writing to ~/.pam_environment

Status in language-selector source package in Artful:

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  When the syntax for the entries in ~/.pam_environment was changed, the
  GUI in language-selector-gnome for maintaining the language priority
  list was broken since language-selector-gnome reads from
  ~/.pam_environment. The language-selector upload to artful makes
  language-selector-gnome handle both the old and the new syntax
  correctly.

  An additional similar change to accountsservice (the update-langlist
  script) is needed; hence also an accountsservice upload to artful.

  [Test Case]

  * Log in to an "Ubuntu on Xorg" session.
  * Open Language Support and find that it appears as if you can only
    set one item before the "English" item in the language list.

  With the new version, it works as expected again.

  [Regression Potential]

  Low. This is necessary to fix the regression caused by the change in
  accountsservice.

  [Original description]

  While investigating bug #1662031, I found out that /usr/share
  /language-tools/save-to-pam-env writes to ~/.pam_environment using an
  incorrect syntax: "VARIABLE=value" on each line. The expected syntax
  is "VARIABLE [DEFAULT=[value]] [OVERRIDE=[value]]" (man pam_env.conf).
