Bug#288476: Problems with fr_CA installs (was: Re: Bug#288476: acknowledged by developer (Re: Bug#288476: nForce 2 success))
CC'ing the french l10n list.....please keep all addresses CC'ed to answers.
(problem with default paper size in fr_CA installs and problems with
keyboard layout in X in the same install)

OK, point taken. So you mention that libpaper1 defaulted to US letter
while you think it should default to A4, right ?
I'm pretty sure this is indeed because th fr_CA locale uses the same
values that en_CA for LC_PAPER, thus defaulting to US letter.
In other words, tu es une nouvelle fois colonisé par les maudits
anglophones..:-)
So, either the default paper size in french speaking parts of Canada
is really A4 and then the fr_CA locale should be changed.....or the
default paper size is really US letter just like in the rest of
Northern America and nothing is wrong, then.

I guess this comes from localization-config:
'fr_CA' => { LAYOUT => 'us', XKBOPTIONS => '' },
The question then becomes : what is the default XKB layout used by
les cousins d'outre flaque ?
Is there a fr_CA layout for X?
If so, do you use 'pc104' or 'pc105' for the XKB model?
It's quite likely that we will have to reopen this bug and reassign it
to localization-config.
