What do you mean? It seems to me the languagelist is sorted based on the
English names, not the locale. Looks OK to me.
However, the sort order of the list in keyboard-chooser still defies all
logic. This really needs to be improved! Currently it is almost impossible to
find the correct keyboard layout in the list.

I like this. A much cleaner list. Much easier to find what you want.

I mostly choose English for language and Netherlands for country for my
installations. I really didn't like to always have to skip out of the America
list anyway. I'm glad it's gone.

I also checked debconf-get debian-installer/keymap.
Here are the results for English/Netherlands and Dutch/Netherlands tests.
The problem is, I don't know if the values are correct or not :-(
Choosing 'English / Netherlands / American English' gives:
debian-installer/language en_NL:en (is this a valid option???)
debian-installer/country NL
debian-installer/locale en
debian-installer/keymap us
I think maybe the locale should be set to 'en_US' as I chose the American
English keymap (or else the locale 'en' should be properly supported; see
#244475).
Choosing 'Dutch / Netherlands / Dutch' gives:
debian-installer/language nl_NL:nl:en_GB:en (surely this is not valid!)
debian-installer/country NL
debian-installer/locale nl_NL
debian-installer/keymap nl
Wishlist item:
I'd really like to see a shortlist of keymaps based on the country that has
been chosen. For the Netherlands this should be 'American English' (default,
see also #246725), 'Dutch' and an 'other' option.
I guess this would not be trivial as such a list would probably also have to
be architecture dependent...
Hope this helps.
