I see. Please just let me say that while the installer writes to /etc/default/locale, it does not touch ~/.profile AFAIK. I don't think the installer even tries to get it 100% right in all cases, but it rather trusts that the user easily can fine tune the settings via language-selector. Possibly the discussion at bug #590108 sheds some light on this topic.

Also, if the possibly incorrect preferences were set at installation, this should probably be a ubiquity rather than a language-selector bug. I leave it to you to change that if you agree.

Rgds,
