I think we should keep the wishlist bug on countrychooser anyway as Frans
idea is interesting for splitting the country list a little bit (this
adds one question but at medium priority only).
This does no prevent fixing cdebconf anyway as Joey suggests...
About the split to "regions" (rather than continents), I think it can
be kept for post-sarge and localechooser.
The code is not really changed in localechooser so, Frans, if you want
to give some help implementing this there, that should be OK, when
you'll be done with the install manual..:-)
I think I will move localechooser to packages as soon as RC2 is
released.
