I modify pg_createcluster and add locale options
exec $initdb, '--locale', 'ru_RU.UTF-8', '--encoding', 'UTF-8', '-D', $datadir
then drop and create cluster with my locale. now lower and upper work
good with unicode.

P.S.
it's bad that we can not modify lc_ctype and lc_collate from
postgresql.conf like lc_messages, lc_monetary, ...
I think that it will be good idea to add locale specific options to
pg_createcluster...
