Uhm, no. It's _udpkg_ and it uses the files from debian-installer (so
there will only be like < 100 packages in total). anna will have to
download only the selected language, though there isn't a
languagechooser in d-i, yet. I have one written, can commit that if
anyone wants it.

Well, udpkg doesn't care about that, so support for those will have to
be merged into anna. That might be sane to do, though.
(And afaik, d-i doesn't want the md5sum field either)
