Try installing the test version of the base-files package (4.1-2). 
There was a thread six months ago or so where it was decided that 
setting vars in both upcase and lowercase was a bad idea (breaks .net 
applications, for one thing, and confuses many others).  This change was 
implemented in base-files as a test, but has never been promoted.
