Even no initialization at all (e.g. "ssh -t host command" with upstream
bash on the remote host).

Shouldn't there be a way to do both? e.g.
1. PAM sets defaults.
2. SendEnv/AcceptEnv variables are overridden by sshd.
3. PAM does locale-name conversions, if possible (because the local
name conventions on the local and remote hosts are not the same).
