Ubiquity silently sets language by location if the user wants that or not

[Len Ovens]

While the user may want en-US (the default), ubiquity changes this silently when the user chooses time zone. In my case en-CA, but others have gotten some applications in German after choosing english as the language.

I believe this is the root cause behind lp:1167549

Could you please add the output of 'cat /etc/default/locale' from a system that was installed with this problem? Thanks in advance. This seems like it may be the same bug as bug 1160441.

[Len Ovens (len-ovenwerks)]

~$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="en_CA.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="en_CA:en"
Same in xubuntu as well. (the above was Ubuntustudio)
