Wasn't Serbian disabled too? (at least this is what I found in previous
announcements from d-i)
Based on this information, I have updated the section about
languages like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
New languages
Thanks to the huge efforts of translators, Debian GNU/Linux
can now be installed in 67 languages. This is three more
languages than in lenny. Most languages are available in both
the text-based installation user interface and the graphical
user interface, whileas some are only available in the
graphical user interface.
Languages added in this release include:
* Asturian, Estonian, Kazakh and Persian have been aded to
the graphical and console installers.
* Kannada and Telugu have been added to the graphical
installer.
* Thai, previously available only in the graphical user
interface, is now available also in the text-based
installation user interface too.
Due to the lack of translation updates three languages were
dropped in this release: Serbian, Wolof and Welsh.
Improved localisation selection
The selection of localisation-related values (language,
location and locale settings) is now less interdendent and
more flexible. Users will be able to customize the system to
their localisation needs more easily while still make it
comfortable to use for users that want to select the locale
most common for the country they reside in.
Additionally, the consequences of localisation choices (such
as timezone, keymap and mirror selection) are now more obvious
to the user.

You will see that I have ommitted that. I would be more comfortable if the
d-i made an official dedication to Frans for Squeeze. Will that happen?
