Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I selected Finland as the location during the installer and still I have
"letter" in the /etc/papersize. It should say "a4" after installation.

Considering that "letter" is used by default only in the Northern
America it would make sense to have "a4" by default in the
/etc/papersize and change that to "letter" only if required. Most of the
world is already using a4 paper size.

See also bug 393818.

I also find it interesting that /etc/papersize is not owned by any
package but it's documented by libpaper1 package (it owns the manual
page documenting the /etc/papersize file). I think it would make sense
to include this file in the libpaper1 as a configuration file. The
default contents of /etc/papersize should be "a4".
