Broken in Hardy Beta. Location is still only used for time zone.
Details of Hardy test setup used, including some command outputs:

** Description changed:
Ubuntu installer asks for location ("United States", "Finland"...), but
the answer seems to be ignored.
To reproduce
- 1) Boot from 5.10 Breezy Install CD
+ 1) Boot from 5.10 Breezy Install CD (Update: also broken in Hardy Beta)
2) Language: English
3) Location: Other: Finland
What should happen: Keyboard dialog should have keyboard "Finnish"
preselected, because that is the only keyboard used in Finland. Paper
size should be A4 (US letter is only used in four countries in the
world). Metric system should be used. Time should be presented in
Finnish locale.
What actually happens: answer to location question seems to be ignored.
Keyboard question offers US keyboard as default. Paper size is US
letter. Feet and inches are used in programs instead of the metric (SI)
system.
I assume that large part of computer literate users choose English as
language. Many of us would still like to use the metric system or A4
paper size.
Suggestions: Use location to set correct locales. Put all locations on a
single list instead of listing half of the world under "other".
