Is it possible that debconf/language is only actually valid if it is set
_after_ the frontend has been started?
I've verified that if I set it early in debian-installer-startup.d (after
loading templates, but before main-menu is started) it does not work, but
if I set it in some postinst, it does.
That would also explain why network-console only showed the correct
language after I added these lines in network-console-menu (to make the
new frontend "see" the language setting):
if db_get debconf/language && [ "$RET" ] ; then
db_set debconf/language $RET
fi
Is this a bug or a feature of cdebconf?
