Since we allready have localized BFs, I imagine the following: (localized) debootstrap on BFs ask the user something like: "Would you like to set the current language as the default system language?" If YES, debootstrap puts the corresponding parts into /etc/locale.gen, $LANG into /etc/environment and calls locale-gen in a chroot. If NO, debootstrap asks "Would you like to reconfigure language and localisation settings later?" If YES, debootstrap writes a special flag into /etc/locale.gen (or wherever). Later, baseconfig would check this mark and force locales reconfiguration if needed. BTW, since locales allready use debconf, it would not hurt to interact with the user (the similar way as on locale generation) and ask for setting the LANG value into /etc/environment.
