Hmmmm, so nothing to do with whiptail, then? I'm puzzled.

Let's ask Alastair, he will maybe have some ideas....

Alastair, could you have a look at #251550?

Basically, you just enter a non ASCII character in a dialog during
Debian Installer 1st stage (when installing in French, German...and
probably even English), for instance in the dialog asking for a host
name or IP address. 

Then the display seems frozen : typing anything just does nothing. You
have to hit Ctrl-A for having it working again.

This is a serious problem because any input of such high ASCII
character will "freeze" the installer, from the user point of view.


Evguenyi suggested it could be whiptail-related because of problems
when working in a Unicode environment.
