Comment 1 for bug 207756

I see. This means that this functionality is not working as intended because of the switch.

Your proposal is strange. I think it would be more straight forward to just add these preseeding to the debconf/ directory in the configuration space, instead of manually fiddling with debconf-set-selections.

The question remains what to do now. Ideally, we would have some way to 'detect' what language/keyboard environment is desired and set it via a script. If someone can come up with a patch for this, please attach the patch here.
