Teemu,
While I think you are right about the Ubuntu UIs generally don't support 
non-UTF-8 locales, it seems not to be because of the user_locale_utf8_fix() 
function in 0010-set-language.patch. user_locale_utf8_fix() does not convert 
UTF-8 locale names to non-UTF-8 names; it just replaces .utf8 with .UTF-8 to 
not reintroduce bug 666565.

Personally I think that in order to make Ubuntu support non-UTF-8
locales would need rather extensive changes in a bunch of packages. If
that's what you want, discussing it on e.g. ubuntu-devel-discuss is
probably a good idea.
