i18n work is required on these fronts:
i18n of debconf database:
possible make templates that d-i and cdebconf use to be in utf-8
make utf-8 support in debconf (convert from utf-8 for non-utf8 terminals)
i18n of cdebconf frontend
fix up slang frontend to use slang-utf8, possibly.
(debconf i18n is not really "complete" and that's a step backwards from
boot-floppies, because b-f used a lightweight gettext, so we have
a few things to do before i18n will work on d-i)
The more hairy part would be to start porting to other arches.
The worst code in boot-floppies is probably the one for
creating the bootable image on each architecture
(hello kernel.sh?), and d-i probably can't stay immune
from that :P
