Yes, in debian-italian we were talking about many possible solutions and
we pointed to this as the best solution. The second best solution is to
create a disk per language/country. The second solution will of course
require some more space but could be really powerfull including in the
single disk not only the language but also good defaults for the
character set, the locale and the keyboard.

P.S. I compiled for the first time the b-f and I found that 'make
checks' doesn't check the availability of sudo. Where may I correct this
in order to do the check?
