Title:
  locale.normalize does not accept unicode: TypeError in normalize():
  character mapping must return integer, None or unicode

Status in “python2.7” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  locale.normalize does accept unicode strings anymore in python 2.7.2:

  python2.7 -c "import locale; locale.normalize(u'en_US')"
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 358, in normalize
      fullname = localename.translate(_ascii_lower_map)
  TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode

  This breaks various packages, like updatemanager, playonlinux (bug
  825421) and aptdaemon (bug 825056)
