ubiquity (2.13.12) raring; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * While displaying question or error dialogs, only change the busy cursor
    state rather than also allowing changing step (LP: #1095684).
  * Use an action group when marking packages for install or delete in the
    apt cache; this is much faster when many packages are involved, since it
    avoids repeating autoremoval calculations over and over again.
  * Sort and consolidate imports.
  * Fix ordering of encryption password strength indications (LP: #1068391).
  * At the end of the language install plugin, read all locale-related keys
    from (/target)/etc/default/locale and set them in the installer's own
    environment.
  * If the combination of language and location does not identify a
    supported combined locale, use a locale based on the language for
    translation-like locale categories and pick one based on the location
    for other locale categories (LP: #1094872).  There are still some
    locations where we cannot pick a language element of a location-based
    locale because this is unclear or contentious, and in those cases we
    stick to the old behaviour of having the locale only reflect the
    country.

  * KDE frontend: show name of installed OS as partition name if
    available

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * Make panel.c aware of screen & display changes, prevents visual
    artefacts on nexus7 when screen is changing or external monitor is
    plugged in and resolution is changes.
  * Update disable/enable ctrl+alt+t terminal to use gsettings keys,
    instead of gconf.
  * Migrate remaining gconf settings to gsettings in ubiquity-dm.
  * Make sure to correctly set picture-uri. (LP: #1128597)
  * Refactor ubiquity-dm, now that there is less code.
  * Remove gconftool.py.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: grub-installer
    1.78ubuntu6, hw-detect 1.92ubuntu1.

Bug description:
  Dear ladies and gentlemen,

  I switched to Debian unstable after problems with TeXLive installations introduce about Oneiric.
  As experienced Unix administrator (AIX and RedHat certified) I was astonished not to be able
  to solve the problem.
  After several attempts I found out that my choices given to the installer:
         English - Berlin timezone - German eliminate deadkeys
  yield without any reason to the assumption that the paper format is "letter".
  E.g. scientists in Germany allways use English language and Berlin time (i.e. the real place being Germay),
  which should clearly qualify to DIN A4 choice, so the choice for /etc/papersize (letter) should be altered
  to "a4" under these (and similar) selections.
  The behaviour is there as already stated since Oneiric - before it worked as expected -
  and is present in the latest flavour.
  I currently work under Xubuntu 12.10 but have several installations (including Ubuntu 12.10
  [which is really unstable and Unity still not configurable] and Debian Wheezy [testing,
  the latter working out of the box without changing /etc/papersize manually]).
  As this bug is quite clear I hope you can fix it before 13.04 - this bug is really mean as the
  real problem is hidden for the user and even when trying to change problems relvealed in
  TeXLive installation relying on the wrong set of papersize  the TeXLive scripts for that purpose
  are not working (Debian related).
  But this is _NOT_ a TeXLive problem - when in Germany (Berlin time) and setting English
  (i.e. /etc/default/locale  being: LANG="en_US.UTF-8"), papersize should be a4 and NOT letter.
  Otherwise one should ask for papersize seperately.
  If other data is needed (not think so - but anyway) please contact me:
     Jochen.M.Braun at gmx.de

  Many thanks in advance for your help!

  JMB

  P.S.: If I missed something - like an expert mode of the installer - please inform me.
     But as unexperienced users may have similar selections the problem should be fixed anyway.
