This sounds good.
The only reason to add the junk to CVS would be if the lang chooser is
to become part of the mainstream potato boot-floppies. It seems like
you are indicating that it is not. If it were, I would not at all
balk at adding 800k to the source package and/or CVS. Small price to
pay, IMHO. But if it's not ready, its not ready.
