As you chose el_GR.UTF-8 as the default locale, you have to find
a way to provide a working UTF-8 console. If jfbterm works for 2nd
stage, it could also be used when installation is over, couldn't it?
Anyway you may have a look at
packages/languagechooser/languagelist
packages/languagechooser/prebaseconfig
there have been recent changes about console configuration.

This is not trivial, I guess that X configuration should be modified
to load d-i values when they are available. Is there a way to know
that we are currently configuring a package from within the
debian-installer?
