Title:
  Choosing India as location sets locale as en_IN and not en_IN.utf8

Status in “libx11” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “python-defaults” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Not sure why this is different, but when the location is chosen as India during install the locale is set as en_IN rather than en_IN.utf8 
  This causes problems with gwibber > Bug 653225 [and maybe other applications which do not factor this.]
