Actually, I'm starting to realize that this is much bigger than just A4 or letter. Because I chose the English (USA) language, anaconda has assumed that everything I do is US. I'm even stunned to note that while I select Melbourne, AUSTRALIA as my time zone, local reports LC_TIME as en_US.UTF-8. This is just plain ridiculous! Clearly, anaconda needs some way to ask where someone lives (instead of what appears to be a borked idea that if you speak a language you must live where that language is spoken) and is probably needs some finer grade control allowing advanced options to set more of these options in locale. I may use English US on my computer, but I measure using metric, and format my dates DD-MM-YYYY and my printer uses A4. Anaconda doesn't get any of the latter right, and that's just plain wrong.
