If one of these countries is selected, both the

accordingly.
I'm having a hard time seeing how a user is supposed to unststand this.
Put yourself in the mindset of a user who does not know about locales,
and certianly does not know about supported locales. All of the existing
(IMHO over-verbose and confusing) text in the two questions will be
ignored. The user will be annoyed if their actual contry is not in the
first list, and will go pick it from the second list. The installer will
do something reasonable with the locale, or not. The user will be
annoyed he saw two more questions than seem to be necessary.
I can't imagine that many users will read and understand the warnings, and
opt to pick a country from the first list that is not really their
country, just to get a locale setting that is closer to what they
desire.
