Re: LANGUAGE=en_PT ?!? There is no such thing!

Hi João. :-)
Ok, so now we know it's really a bug... how do one reports this? Is 
there a person to contact specifically about bugs found running the net 
installer? a generic debian bug report e-mail? Any developer reading 
this list?

I've tried to understand how to file a bug report (also because of 
reopening the bug of no optimizaed kernel being chosen) but I'm lost 
with all the info I got:
write to debian-bugs-dist mailing list, mail to submit@bugs.debian.org 
using the installation report, mail to submit@bugs.debian.org but nou 
using the installation report as it seems difficult to apply to these 
situations, mail directly to "#bugnumber@I-dont-remember" to reopen the 
bug... ?
