Bug Description
This morning I updated packages as prompted, and as there was a new kernel I rebooted.
After logging back in, I was greeted with the attached screenshot. No, I would not like to break my home directory, thanks :)
As far as I am aware I did not change language (I don't even know how to), all I did was reboot, then type my password at LightDM and got that dialog box.

Very similar, related to bug #209513 "After upgrade, "Update standard folders to current language" threatens to rename your home folder". The part that particularly concerns me about this is the prompt to rename '~/./' to '~/Public/'.
I followed up with the reporter via IRC. The datestamp on the file is:
