For me the below preseed snippet works on Buster and Bullseye:

# The values can also be preseeded individually for greater flexibility.
d-i debian-installer/language string C
d-i debian-installer/country string EN
d-i debian-installer/locale string C
# Optionally specify additional locales to be generated.
d-i localechooser/supported-locales multiselect en_US.UTF-8, ...
