The locale settings were simply the result of following the standard install process and confirming that my location was Auckland when requested.
It sounds like something isn't working properly during the install. Do I need to report a new bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to language-pack-en-base in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562279 Title: Can't set en_NZ locale Status in language-pack-en-base package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: After updating language-pack-en and language-pack-en-base in Xubuntu 16.04, I can no longer set en_NZ.UTF-8 as my locale in lightdm- greeter. Current locale, after fiddling with language support, is: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_NZ.UTF-8 LC_ALL= Previously, everything was "en_NZ.UTF-8" I imagine that the same issue is going to apply to a number of English-language locales other than Australia, Canada, UK and US. These four, plus a generic "en" (which appears to default to en_US) are all that are displayed in the lightdm-greeter language menu.
