Bug#320534: locales: fr_CA : wrong paper size and maybe wrong X keymap

Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-22
Severity: normal

Hi!

After a standard fr_CA Sarge install, I get a4 as the default
/etc/papersize. If I'm correct as fr_CA means "french Canadian", then
the papersize should be "letter". Paper in a4 format cannot be found in
North America. Canadians use letter just like in United States.

Then about the X keymap, I get "ca" as the default keymap. It looks like
that keymap behaves much like a Macintosh for the accents. As most
people using Linux are MS Windows experienced, I believe "ca_enhanced"
would be a better choice for the default X keymap. "ca_enhanced" mimics
the éèêç keymap from MS Windows.

I'll be happy to offer precisions if it appears that this is ambiguous
or incomplete.

Thank you for your great work!

Pierre
