New profile gets invalid home page

Bug Description

firefox seems to use file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales/index-xx_XX.html as homepage for new profiles.

But it should be file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-xx_XX.html instead - at least this is what "ubuntu-docs" provides ("locales-ubuntu" instead of "locales").

Locating profile creation script to submit suggestion to appropriate team. (anyone know a good idea to look for this, already doing some hunting myself).

Unless anyone can suggest just submitting a change to ubuntu-docs? Both directories that the user referred to exist on my setup, so the appropriate homepage appears for a new profile regardless which directory it looks it (one is not a symlink of the other).

If it does help, I've dist-upgraded from Dapper, 2-3 months ago.
