This is not a bug, as the standard specification linked in the
description clearly defines what defaults values should be used if the
environment vars are empty or not set. So there is no need to set the
values unless you want to change the default ones, and it would be
redundant to set them to their default.

Title:
  XDG Base Directory Specification environment variables aren't set by
  default

Status in xdg-user-dirs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in xdg-user-dirs package in Debian:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The XDG Base Directory Specification specifies environment variables
  that applications can use to find user data. These variables are
  currently not set in Ubuntu.

  I propose that we set the following environment variables in the
  /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults

  $XDG_DATA_HOME 
  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME 
  $XDG_DATA_DIRS 
  $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
  $XDG_CACHE_HOME
  $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
