Package: localechooser
Severity: normal

AFAIK, the "C" option is only useful for debugging.  The average English user
can't tell the difference between selecting "English" and selecting "C".  I
think it can be confusing.  Could you make "C" disappear for a priority < high ?
(perhaps the easiest way to do this is add a previous question asking wether
user wants any localization at all).

This wasn't much of a problem with console installs, because "C" doesn't
appear in the default screen (you have to scroll up), but in GUI installs, "C"
is one of the most prominent options.

Especially since the default entry is… “English”.

No need to keep that bug report open forever, closing.
