@axel: Not the same issue.

@Jane: The options in Language Support and lightdm-gtk-greeter for
setting language are there for selecting the translation for menus and
messages. Previously the English language packs included a en_NZ
'translation' from en_US, but it seems to have been dropped in Xenial.
The reason is probably that there were too few translations to justify
its inclusion.

So this is not actually a bug, but rather a consequence of the currently
applied threshold for including translations.

Given that, possibly you may now want to use en_GB or en_AU instead of
en_US, if any of those is closer to the English dialect of New Zealand.

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.
