I can't think of any real traps that boot-floppies fell into. Most of
the problems we had were either due to poor / nonexistent i18n awareness
in other programs (whiptail, for example), or were caused by the need to
support both UTF-8 and straight 8-bit builds in parallel (e.g. the
seemingly endless newt/slang ABI drama).
If d-i can nail its colours firmly to the UTF-8 mast and commit to
having that as the only supported encoding, that would be a big benefit.
