Package: localechooser
Version: 1.46
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have one wish to the localechooser.
My Default language is English,
my country is Russian,
and localechooser propose me only en_US locale to set primarily.
But I really dislike it! I like en_CA. It's much closer to Russia IMO.
(e.g. date format)

I know, I can change this later, after installation (and by adding
additional locales), but why? ;-))
And what should I do in case I don't need en_US locale at all?

I suppose "other" option there as in language-country option. I can
select country where English isn't official lang, by choosing other
and then my country from full list.

Thanks,
Stas

I see I was mistaken. You _can_ already select en_CA if you install in 
expert mode and select English as language and Russian Federation as 
country.

Leaving the report open as preseeding this combination of values is quite 
likely still an issue.

Cheers,
