Default papersize should be in sync with regional formats

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

The default papersize in /etc/papersize is set in the installer. When setting regional formats via language-selector, the env. variable LC_PAPER is set, but printing apps seem to not honor that variable.

Tentative measures to make the default papersize be in sync with LC_PAPER is to also set the PAPERSIZE env. variable in ~/.pam_environment when the user changes the regional formats, and to change /etc/papersize (via the paperconfig command?) when new regional formats are applied system wide.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package language-selector - 0.106

---------------
language-selector (0.106) raring; urgency=low

  * language_support_pkgs.py:
    Changes in available_languages() to avoid that users are prompted
    to install language support for non-installed languages. That
    could happen if there were other locales on the system but the
    locales representing the installed languages.
  * dbus_backend/ls-dbus-backend:
    Update /etc/papersize when regional formats are applied system
    wide (LP: #1130690).
  * debian/control:
    Bump the accountsservice dependency.
  * LanguageSelector/LocaleInfo.py:
    Don't display the @variant portion of a language or locale name
    as b'variant'.
