I've checked the situation in deep.

Nikolai's guess was WRONG.

In fact, languagechooser currently is set up do use console-cyrillic, AND 
base-config expects console-cyrillic.
However, netinst image does not have console-terminus package, on which 
console-cyrillic depends, so console-cyrillic fails to install on 1st 
stage

So:

- NOTHING should be commited for sarge on this issue either in 
languagechooser or base-config

- Problem is not that bad, because it affects only netinst image.

- I hope netinst image can be rebuild at this stage of freeze?

- It is probably bad that non-x86 is broken (see Eugeniy Meshcheryakov's 
mails), but it is definitly less harm (for debian reputation in Russia at 
least) to have it broken on x86.
