Package: debian-installer
Version: 20120626
Severity: normal

Hi,

using the gtk netboot image, picking the fr_BE locale, I ended up with a
broken character at the grub prompt (? should be é, aka. &eacute;):

  Debian GNU/Linux, avec Linux 3.2.0-2-486
  Debian GNU/Linux, avec Linux 3.2.0-2-486 (mode de d?pannage)

Screenshot attached, emphasis mine.

Furthermore, when booting, one gets the same issue:

  Chargement de Linux 3.2.0-2-486 ...
  Chargement du disque m?moire initial ...

Might be some issue in d-i, or in grub. Maybe two, dunno.

Mraw,
KiBi.
