(Get the code!)
Ubuntu installer asks for location ("United States", "Finland"...), but the answer seems to be ignored.
To reproduce
1) Boot from 5.10 Breezy Install CD
2) Language: English
3) Location: Other: Finland
What should happen: Keyboard dialog should have keyboard "Finnish" preselected, because that is the only keyboard used in Finland. Paper size should be A4 (US letter is only used in four countries in the world). Metric system should be used. Time should be presented in Finnish locale.
What actually happens: answer to location question seems to be ignored. Keyboard question offers US keyboard as default. Paper size is US letter. Feet and inches are used in programs instead of the metric (SI) system.
I assume that large part of computer literate users choose English as language. Many of us would still like to use the metric system or A4 paper size.
Suggestions: Use location to set correct locales. Put all locations on a single list instead of listing half of the world under "other".
