Title:
  When you click OEM Config in one locale and reboot in a different
  locale, default settings do not change to new locale

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Summary: If an OEM uses oem-config in one locale, then ships the
  system to a user in a different locale, when that user is presented
  with the first-boot config stuff, the locale defaults will still be
  the same as the OEMs locale, instead of the user's.

  This is a by-product of doing ISO testing in the UK and playing around
  later in the US.

  So during the Lucid 10.04.1 ISO testing, I did a number of OEM
  installs.  However, I did one further for a different reason and
  that's what led me to this bug.

  Unfortunately, I'm not too sure how to recreate this, other than
  perhaps on a system with no internet connection, but that would make
  most of the case moot.  But this is what I did originally:

  Did an OEM install of 10.04.1 in the UK, and during install chose all
  defaults (so I got the UK keyboard, UK lang packs, London as the
  default timezone, etc).

  The VM was then shut down without ever running oem-config.

  After returning to the US, I fired up the VM and decided to give oem-
  config a go again.  So I double clicked on the Prepare for Shipping
  icon on the desktop, gave it the password, and it replied with the
  expected "oem-config will run on the next boot" message.

  So I rebooted the vm and was presented with oem-config-gtk just as
  advertised.  Step 1 was defaulted to English.  Step two correctly
  indicated that I was in the United States and my current Time Zone was
  EDT/New York.  Step 3, however, listed United Kingdom as the suggested
  option for the keyboard layout, instead of USA.  I had to manually
  specify USA for the keyboard settings.

  It's a minor inconsistency issue.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to
  fake this to retry (possibly doing the OEM config with a China locale
  then doing the first-boot with a US locale).
