This problem is solved in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), the Ubuntu Desktop CD installer
ubiquity now sets /etc/papersize to match the selected locale instead of
defaulting to A4.
Closing as a duplicate of bug #104160
Gutsy appears to have fixed all of these problems, or at least all of
the global settings. Did they do this by making the system choose based
on locale or did they just change the default to letter?
For me it's fixed, so perhaps this gets to be closed soon.

I cannot seem to find anywhere to report a bug on the installer itself.
Again, I am unable to determine any package as the source for
/etc/papersize. This could be considered a bug in itself:
$ sudo dpkg -S /etc/papersize
dpkg: /etc/papersize not found.
Someone did report this for a beta build. A
I experienced the exact same problem. A recent fresh install of Edgy Eft
Kubuntu resulted in days of frustration trying to use the Print Manager,
CUPS (localhost:631), foomatic-gui, and anything else I could think of
to get printing to Letter.
Finally I happened across a google to check /etc/paper
I have installed the latest Feisty as a fresh install, and this bug is
unaddressed. The default paper is still a4, despite my locale.
