Thanks. This is very strange. The most likely cause would be that the 
initramfs-tools package is not included on the CD, but I've just checked 
today's image and it is.

Could you check if your CD contains:
/cdrom/pool/main/i/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools_0.84_all.deb
(possibly with a different version)?

If not, please try downloading today's image.

If that package _is_ included, we're going to have to dig a bit deeper.
Could you run the installation again, but _before_ you get to the base 
installation step use nano to add a new line "set -x" below the first 
line of the script /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst.
And then please send the syslog again (English install appreciated).

Cheers,
FJP
