I noticed it also but not with boot-floppies. It's showing
non-internationalised "Yes/No" buttons in every debconf interface I

say that it's annoying. All these problems using the debconf dialog
interface.

If we could just get fully i18n'd modconf it would be cool and I guess
we'll got internationalised debconf buttons as a plus.
