Package: iceweasel-l10n-sk
Version: 1:10.0.12esr-1
Followup-For: Bug #236227

Bug still occurs with Debian Wheezy. Very annoying, since nobody prints letter
format here in SK, thus papersize must be manually changed to A4 every time one
is printing from Iceweasel. Otherwise printer hangs up with some kind of "bad
paper size" error, stopping the whole print queue, with obvious problems
connected to cancelling the print job, You all know what I'm talking about...

Furthermore, Iceweasel ignores not only /etc/papersize, but also the
environment locale settings, such as LC_PAPER="sk_SK.UTF-8"
I'm not sure, whether should I fill another, separate bug for the instance, or
this one is enough.

I think this is also matter of localization package, because the wrong paper
size (letter) is visible in about:config page and I hope the localization
package should take care of all aspects of localization.
