** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ When the syntax for the entries in ~/.pam_environment was changed, the
+ GUI in language-selector-gnome for maintaining the language priority
+ list was broken since language-selector-gnome reads from
+ ~/.pam_environment. The language-selector upload to artful makes
+ language-selector-gnome handle both the old and the new syntax
+ correctly.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ * Log in to an "Ubuntu on Xorg" session.
+ * Open Language Support and find that it appears as if you can only
+   set one item before the "English" item in the language list.
+ 
+ With the new version, it works as expected again.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Low. This is necessary to fix the regression caused by the change in
+ accountsservice.
+ 
+ [Original description]
+ 
  While investigating bug #1662031, I found out that /usr/share/language-
  tools/save-to-pam-env writes to ~/.pam_environment using an incorrect
  syntax: "VARIABLE=value" on each line. The expected syntax is "VARIABLE
  [DEFAULT=[value]] [OVERRIDE=[value]]" (man pam_env.conf).
