I think it would be too much magic if the SSH server considered the
contents of these variables. Apart from anything else, it doesn't know
whether particular software that you might be running in SSH might need
some setting that sshd doesn't know about.

If you're using non-default config to pass these variables and have
some places where it's a problem to see an unknown locale, you could
always make your own changes to the variables in .profile on those
systems. (I am guessing that in the majority of these cases the only
actual problem is the noise from Debian's Perl configuration...)
