Yet another victim of the hardware vendors crazyness at inventing new
models nearly daily. The PC hardware world just drives me crazy.
As you provided all the useful information for fixing this bu, I did
the patch to the right package. Attached.

This needs more investigation. I'm even wondering why the locales
package prompted you about the locales to generate.
What were your choices of language and country? fi and FI?
What was the debconf priority? Default (ie high) or medium?
What were the additional locales you selected?
