Bug#263137: Is this fixed by localechooser?
Quoting Joey Hess (joeyh@debian.org):

Localechooser checks for debian-installer/framebuffer. If is is set to
false, only languages which have a 1 in the second field of
languagelist are displayed.
As I guess that there is no framebuffer used on serial console, I
think we have a way to fix this bug that way. The only thing to so is
setting debian-installer/framebuffer to false before running
localechooser.
I tested this feature only by setting the variable at boot prompt but
I'm pretty sure it would work other ways as well.
Currently, I have marked Latin1 languages with 1 and all others with
0. So, the console has to be Latin1 compliant at the minimum (this may
depend on consoles on terminal emulations, probably).
