I wasn't.

The part relevant to mirror in my preseed file is:

#### Mirror settings.

d-i     mirror/country          string enter information manually
d-i     mirror/http/hostname    string ftp.fr.debian.org
d-i     mirror/http/directory   string /debian
d-i     mirror/suite            string unstable
d-i     mirror/http/proxy       string http://proxy.onera:80/

This is what I call "unstable-o.cfg" meaning "install unstable when I
am at work and need to use a proxy".

I currently have a running install with a similar file with the
netinst CD (I'm out of net access) and Arabic language.

Something was wrong in my bug report : this was *not* using a
businesscard CD image but with a netboot image 2.4 dated 20041013. I
forgot this install was made with my automated vmware netboot
environment.
