It is not a bug.  It simply clears the $LANG environment variable before
going into the chroot. ...

OK, thanks.

Maybe it would be slightly less confusing to write "LANG=C ..." instead.

Would help a little.  Also, the Installation
Guide could give a few words of explanation!

I still do not understand why the chroot environment
is used in this "direct" installation.  Why not just
copy /boot from the host system (cp -r /boot /mnt/debinst/),
put the new target media in the target system, boot
it up, and then do the network configuration and etc?

Thanks,       Peter E.
