What is wrong with specifying the paper size you want in the \paper

More often than not, the global staff size and manual tweaks are set to
achieve a certain page layout. If LilyPond changed its behavior on
different computers, stuff would stop working without the user having a
clue that this was not intended output.
Yes, this is a good reason why Lilypond does not respect LC_PAPER
If - for whatever strange reason - you always want US-letter papersize: On
Linux you can put an alias in your .bashrc file
alias lilypond='lilypond -dpapersize=letter'
After that, if you run lilypond from the commandline, you don't have to type
that option manually everytime.
But: Not recommended.
