Solutions to bug 1130690 were recently uploaded to Raring. With that I think that the issue in this bug report has been addressed in Ubuntu in an alternative way.
When setting the regional formats in Language Support, LC_PAPER is set (together with a bunch of other LC_* variables). The news is that the PAPERSIZE variable is also set to either "a4" or "letter" depending on LC_PAPER. Furthermore, when a user applies the regional format settings system wide, /etc/papersize is updated.
I think it would be appropriate to close the libpaper (Ubuntu) task, but for the case there are aspects on this issue I haven't thought about, I leave it open for now.
