Bug description:
Binary package hint: adduser

On a clean install:

$ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8

$ sudo adduser --encrypt-home foo
[sudo] password for martin: 
Lege Benutzer »foo« an ...
Lege neue Gruppe »foo« (1001) an ...
Lege neuen Benutzer »foo« (1001) mit Gruppe »foo« an ...
Erstelle Home-Verzeichnis »/home/foo« ...
Setting up encryption ...
ERROR: /home/foo must be empty before proceeding
adduser: »/usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-private -b -u foo« gab den Fehlercode 1 zurück. Programmende.

$ sudo ls -laR /home/foo
/home/foo:
insgesamt 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 foo  foo  4096 2009-03-24 16:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2009-03-24 16:42 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 2009-03-24 16:42 .ecryptfs -> /var/lib/ecryptfs/foo

This works perfectly well with "sudo LANG= adduser --encrypt-home foo", so I guess it does some string parsing which fails with translations perhaps?
