Title:
  Installer sets incorrect values for variables in locales with existing
  @ variants

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It seems that for locales which have got language variants (e.g. ca
  and ca at valencia, sr and sr at latin), language-selector sets the locale-
  related environment variables incorrectly as the variant instead of
  the main language, despite the main language being selected at install
  time.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start a fresh Ubuntu installation
  2. Select Catalan as the language (language code 'ca'), and a location in Spain
  3. Continue the installation until finished
  4. Log in to your new Ubuntu installation
  5. The desktop is translated in the ca at valencia variant of the Catalan locale

  Expected:

  5. The desktop is translated in the main variant of the Catalan
  locale: ca

  Here's what such a system has for a locale after installation. Notice
  the  LANGUAGE,  LC_CTYPE,  LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES variables being set
  to the incorrect values.

  $ locale
   LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8
   LANGUAGE=ca at valencia:en
   LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.UTF-8 at valencia
   LC_NUMERIC="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_TIME="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_COLLATE=ca_ES.UTF-8 at valencia
   LC_MONETARY="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_MESSAGES=ca_ES.UTF-8 at valencia
   LC_PAPER="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_NAME="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_ADDRESS="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_TELEPHONE="ca_ES.UTF-8"
   LC_MEASUREMENT="ca_ES.UTF-8"
