First of all, the first screen "Select your language" looks really awful.This is being worked on but will probably not be ready for etch. Using a fixed size is not that well adapted to complex languages rendering, ufortunately, so another solution has to be found (and is worked on).
Yep, and a bug report [1] was already filled about this some times ago.
Another thing is the "Screenshot" button. Is this button going to be removed from the "official" versions? It's really not necessary and not "professional" to have a screenshot button in the installation screens.It's not planned to be removed and, actually, this is a feature that can be useful enough for people writing documentations intended for other people.
Or even documenting issues related to fonts used for those complex non latin writings like arabic etc..
Making it less proeminent could be an option, but I don't think it will be worked on for etch, as well (too late).
that could be easily achievable by reading a boolean debconf/screenshot-button question when the GTK frontend starts, but i think this will be post-etch

The title cannot change between the language selection and country selection necause both pertain to the same component (and there are very good reasons for not using different components). This would indeed require a change in cdebconf to allow changing the title of dialogs in the middle of a config script.
Currently both newt and gtk frontends redisplay obj->data->title string at each frontend_go() and progress_start() call, if this helps..
