The files under /etc/profile.d are sourced by /etc/profile, which sets
system wide settings.
For user-defined values, the place to override a system-wide setting
depends on the shell you're using. E.g., for bash, it would be
~/.bash_profile. Check /etc/skel/.bash_profile. It should include
these lines:

# Set user-defined locale
export LANG=3D$(locale -uU)

Probably you have a customized ~/.bash_profile, so updating to
base-files-4.0-9 didn't replace it.
