I've been meaning to ask you, is there some reason why you recommend
using preseed/locale for preseeding, but the README says lowmem should
preseed languagechooser/language-name and debian-installer/locale? I
don't understand why you need a separate variable for preseeding or why
lowmem shouldn't use the same preseeding as anything else.
Does this look like it might work to allow debian-installer/locale to be
used for preseeding?

I removed the block at the end instead of unsetting $localecode's seen
flag because nothing else in d-i worrys about letting the user manually
go back and override values they preseeded and I don't see why
languagechooser should be different.
I'm also tempted to rip out all the seen flag setting that the code
does, except for the bits that set it to true in the preseed block. d-i
code should not need to set seen flags to false to deal with questions
being re-asked.
