Bug#278186: Should we correct 278186?
VERY late replay, sorry. I left it prewritten in my outgoing mailbox.
Quoting Joey Hess (joeyh@debian.org):

About a), well I'm using such a patched tasksel since the beginning
I'm playing with automated installs in all languages. This is also the
one I use when I work with custom tasks, so I've also used the patch
in non automated environments.
About b) I have seen very few people even mentioning they are working
with preseed files in localized environments. For sure there are some
and we may break their work, but I think these people are skilled
enough for just asking in -boot if they experience problems....and as
you said, we'd better fix this now...:-)
When it comes to automated installs, they're simply very difficult to
do currently in localised environment, so I really think this patch is
worth to go in sarge.
