I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of bug 10910. This is an upstream
issue and not an Ubuntu specific one. As you said, it's been broken
upstream for about 10 years now. The person assigned last updated the
bug about 3 years ago.

Title:
firefox/thunderbird default to US Letter for papersize
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
Often after upgrading or installing ubuntu (now running 10.04.1) I
notice (after a while, since I don't print that often from
browser/e-mail client) that the papersize is set to US Letter again.
I'm not quite sure why this happen, because I live in the Netherlands,
there's no US Letter here, ever (unless you get some special paper
sent in ;-)
Obviously in a longer running system, this is set in my system to A4
paper (systemsettings/locale/other/paper format). however, I found
that in /etc/papersize it said "letter". So I guess there are more
places to configure this. (I promptly changed that using "sudo
paperconfig -p a4", so perhaps this problem is over now...
Perhaps this bug needs to be moved to systemconfiguration/locale with
a summary: "systemsettings papersize configuration doesn't cover all
places where papersize is configured" or something...
Cheers
Simon
