My suggestion was much more humble, I was thinking about something like:
Language selected: English
Based on your chosen language, the following
default settings can be used for the install.
If they are fine, you won't be prompted for them
anymore. Otherwise you will be able to change
these settings during the install.
Country: United States
Keyboard: us
Time Zone: US/Eastern
Debian mirror: http.us.debian.org
Do you accept these settings?
[*] Yes [ ] No
