Public bug reported:

Since Natty the list of languages in various language choosers has
consisted of available translations, and each option has consisted of a
language code such as 'de' or 'en_GB', not a complete locale name. In
Oneiric and Precise that list is provided by accountsservice.

In lightdm, which is designed to serve multiple distributions, the code
that supports greeter language choosers simply provides a list of
installed locales derived from the 'locale -a' command.

To make lightdm-gtk-greeter's language chooser work properly in Ubuntu
and derivatives, there is a need to exchange the 'locale -a' output for
the list provided by accountsservice.
