Comments/Problems:
Minor nitpicks:
After the initial question of language, I did not find Norway as one of the
primary countriesafter having selected UK English, I would guess most
Norwegian running debian has english as their "main computing language"
Further on, having told the installer that I was in Norway, I was a bit
surprised not to find norwegian as the pre selecetd keyboard
On the partitioning step, I was a bit confused on which buttons that meant
[OK] and [Cancel] quite a few times, I defined a partition, just to manage to
misunderstand which button to press and immideately lose it again. Might have
been a bit late though..
Mainly, just great! I have installed quite a few debian 3.0 system, this was
mostly a much more 'polished' experience.

I went on this bug report which is a compelte nightmare to track down.
To summarize, we here have a user who want ot use English language and
have other localisation paramters fit his country.
As Denis Barbier wrote at some moment in the giant bug log, this can
be achieved by:
LANG=nb_NO
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB (or en_US)
This really pertains to manual system customization and I don't think
that d-i purpose is supproting such complicated setups. Otherwise,
we'll soon see request for setting each LC_* variables in d-i.
The other issues raises by this installation report have been properly
reassigned and often dealt with...thus closing the bug report.
