With upstream sudo, you can just omit LC_* (or whichever envvar you
don't like) from the env_check and env_keep lists and it will be unset
for the target program. The problem here is that the hardcoded "keep
these at all costs" list in debian/patches/env.c-safety.diff (the second
hunk) prevents that approach.
I suggest just dropping that, particularly as all but XAPPLRESDIR,
XFILESEARCHPATH, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH are already listed in either
initial_checkenv_table or initial_keepenv_table. Hence that code only
activates (aside from those 3) when an admin explicitly requests
omission of one of the listed envvars, and then it counteracts that
explicit request!
Cheers,
Jan
