Comment 3 for bug 920601

Attempting to change the bug description, but launchpad seems to be erroring out. Here is what I want the description to be:
----

The cloud images currently only support "en_US.UTF-8" locales in Oneiric and Precise by default unless a user sets the locale via cloud-config in cloud-init. Users who SSH into a cloud-image with LANG="<SOMETHING ELSE>" will have an invalid LANG seting.

IMHO, this is a poor user experience for international users. We either need to turn off "Accept LC_*" in /etc/sshd/config, installed (and thus bloat the images) all the language packs or come up with a way to dynamically install the the languages.

Example:
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" ssh ec2-23-20-37-252.compute-1.amazonaws.com
Warning: Permanently added 'ec2-23-20-37-252.compute-1.amazonaws.com' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
