then everything was too plain and unexciting, hence automagical ;) nice auto-partitioning from partman) the locales package tries to generate a locale named "ru.ISO-8859-1", which is of course wrong. I would expect ru_RU.KOI8-R and would wish ru_RU.UTF-8. Because of this, base-config and others are using english for the messages.
In 'Russian (other)' entry in languagelist locale is set to ru, so after choosing country you can get ru_RU (encoding ISO-8859-5) or ru_UA (encoding KOI8-U) and console configured to use KOI8-R (unreleased version of languagechooser).
