Argh, I see.
In countrychooser:

----------------------
localecode="debian-installer/locale"
 ...
if [ "$COUNTRYCODE" != "$COUNTRYCODE_LANGUAGECHOOSER" ]; then
      LOCALE=${LANGUAGECODE}_${COUNTRYCODE}:${LOCALE}
fi
 ...
db_set "$localecode" "$LOCALE"
----------------------

Hmm, base-config(termwrap) expects debian-installer/locale is just
locale, like "en_US" or "ja_JP.EUC-JP" and so on.

I prefer countrychooser should preserve debian-installer/locale as old
style. Such as "en_:en_US" breaks compatibility with old style, and
needs modifying base-config (and may cause another bug...).

Christian, have you any idea for solve this problem?
