I would love to stipulate this requirement. I have no problem with
it.
What I do have a problem with right now is LANG_CHOOSER and how it was
never really completed. Very frustrating. I feel like the i18n folks
got us 95% there, but neglected to finish off the critical last 5%.
Let me be clear:
I want *all* versions of boot-floppies for woody to be i18n to the
extent that they can be.
Unless some i18n hacker step up now, however, probably *none* of
them will be. And by hacking, I mean end-to-end testing, not just
working on one tiny piece.
I wanted this for potato, too, but the work wasn't ever completed.

I'm sure to build multiple variants, you'd need to build the one, move
the exec outta the way, make clean, build the other, etc. It's
doable.
Don't FB and LC go together? Maybe I don't understand the FB thingie
-- that's not the obsolete graphical dbootstrap is it?
