Comment 14 for bug 1094872

Using the papersize command instead of editing /etc/papersize directly may be an option. But please note that the main point with the attached script is to point at a way to go from locale to papersize. It makes sense IMO to use the locale info that is available. Maybe that's what you do in the installer as well... I'd like to see a way to keep the papersize setting in sync with the regional formats settings as done from language-selector.

As regards locales, if I understand it correctly the Ubuntu model so far has been that only locales corresponding to installed languages are available. New locales are created when a language is installed, and they are removed when a language is removed. That's why remove-language-pack works the way it does. There is no other UI besides language-selector for managing the generated locales as shown with "locale -a", is there?

So if you would change it somehow, I think we would need to reconsider things beyond langpack-locales.
