Title:
  do-release-upgrade in localized environment does not accept english
  input

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I was running do-release-upgrade tool in an environment like:
  LANG=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LANGUAGE=ru:en:uk:en
  LC_CTYPE="ru_UA.UTF-8"
  LC_NUMERIC=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_TIME=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_COLLATE="ru_UA.UTF-8"
  LC_MONETARY=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_MESSAGES="ru_UA.UTF-8"
  LC_PAPER=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_NAME=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_ADDRESS=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_TELEPHONE=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_MEASUREMENT=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_IDENTIFICATION=ru_UA.UTF-8
  LC_ALL=

  And during upgrade process I was not able to change my keyboard layout other that to english (US). 
  But the tool had asked me questions in russian and expected that I will input my answers in russian:

   66 пакетов будут удалены.

  I tried to input 'y' as for 'yes' but no luck. The workaround is to
  copy-paste 'д' letter from terminal emulator. But when you are using
  tty it can be a problem.

  So please, can you make `do-release-upgrade` tool accept english input
  despite the locale?

  I am using:
