[g-i] needs full font before launching tasksel

Hi d-i & g-i team,
thank you for your great work.

Well, I haven't minded etch d-i calls tasksel on 1st stage.

Current shrink-ed CJK fonts for g-i are taken glyph from
d-i/tasksel/iso-codes/eject/console-data, but it may be not enough to
cover all of characters what tasksel brings.

One workaround is including all of possible characters from each task
packages, but I think it's not scalable and may slip soon. Containing
huge TTFs to initial RAM disk is impossible. Reverting to bitmap is
unhappy.

I've an idea:
1. Install specific TTF-deb (such as ttf-sazanami-gothic) to target
   chroot at base-installer phase, when user choose Chinese, Japanese
   or Korean.
2. Replace the font file in /usr/share/fonts/ to symlink indicates
   installed TTF, between post-"install TTF-deb" and pre-"launch
   tasksel".
3. Redraw GTK+ window to use updated font if it's needed.

How do you think about?
I'm not expert about GTK+/fonts, so I don't know whether step 2. &
3. is possible or not.

Thanks,
