Comment 4 for bug 889252

We should bear in mind that in Precise the user language/locale settings will be stored in ~/.pam_environment instead of ~/.profile; please see bug #866062. Together with other changes, e.g. the planned switch of UI from l-s to gnome-control-center's Region and Language widget, it means that in any case there are significant migration issues to consider for the LTS->LTS upgrade, and even the 11.10->LTS upgrade.

A fix of this issue in 11.10 would need to be SRUed, or else it wouldn't make a difference. While I'm not opposed to such an SRU, I can think that it may be better to concentrate on the migration to 12.04.
