Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090123lenny1

After having selected a language for the installer, the installer asks for
"a country", but doesn't say anything about the effects this choice has.

In the case of language variants, it's somewhat obvious what it could be
good for. But after all, (a) it doesn't ask for a language variant, it
asks for a country and (b) it wouldn't make much sense to ask for a
"desired country" after I said that I didn't want any localization at all
if it were for the selection of language variants only.

I don't know what version of D-I you're talking about. More precisely
what image you did use.

This has been improved greatly by Frans Pop in recent changes in
localechooser and related packages.

That can be seen in daily built images you can download from
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer

I therefore see no point in keeping this bug opened as we will
obviously not backport these changes to the lenny installer.
