Ok, well, during the install it was set to "English (QWERTY/US)" which
is verry broken.

I can't be sure, but I suspect that the language chooser is responsible
for this bogosity of LANGUAGE in /root/debootstrap_settings, and it is being
propigated into base-config's environment. This is borne out by:
./utilities/dbootstrap/langs/english.src: <name>English (QWERTY/US)</name>
I really don't want to turn the PERL_BADLANG hack back on in
base-config. Especially because if I _do_, it will probably just mask
the problem and everyone will get the base-config step in english. Lang
needs to be of the form LL_ll, period.
Can this be fixed in the boot floppies please?
