initdb will absorb locale/encoding from its environment, unless told
otherwise through a --locale switch.  So the usual expectation would be
that it'd work like you want.  Perhaps the Ubuntu packager set LANG=C in
the postgres user's ~/.profile, or some such?  Poke around a bit in the
package's files, it shouldn't be too hard to find where the damage is
being done.

Thanks Tom,

I'll check that out.
