Public bug reported:
After upgrading from precise to trusty lightdm only offers to log in to
a Japanese environment now (lightdm login screen, the pulldown only has
ja on offer). I looked around but could not spot why this would be.

I thought that maybe this behaviour is due to the ja_JP folders inside
/etc/X11 and those belong to timidity.
$ dpkg -S /etc/X11/ja_JP.*
timidity: /etc/X11/ja_JP.UTF-8
timidity: /etc/X11/ja_JP.eucJP
The strange (and upsetting) thing is that this even overrides an
explicit setting I have made.
$ cat ~/.environment
