Bug Description

This issue has been there for ages (at least 5 releases), but now I'll try to report it!
I installed ubuntu and chose german as the language of choice.
The installed system has german localisation which is downloaded at install time, but when I open the "languages" app it complains about missing language files.
It wants to install the following packages:

libreoffice-l10n-en-gb
mythes-de-ch
hunspell-en-ca
libreoffice-help-en-gb
thunderbird-locale-en-gb
hunspell-de-ch
hunspell-de-at
mythes-en-au
libreoffice-l10n-en-za

Then in the "languages" list it displays:
Deutsch(Deutschland)
English(United Kingdom)
English
English(Australia)
English(Canada)
English(New Zealand)
English(United States)

So to sum it up:
-Some packages shouldn't be installed: *.ch and *.at as I'm in Germany and not Austria or Switzerland, and these also aren't in the list of installed locales
-The english dialects aren't applicable at all, I haven't chosen them

What I would expect is that only "Deutsch(Deutschland)" and perhaps also "English" are installed, and all applicable packages of these locales are installed

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1510271/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.
