    Serial console installs hanging with languages other than English is a
    known problem. What does your fix do? Do serial console installs in
    !English work with it?

    In my view, "hang up" always occurs when it displays a progress bar, and
    maybe is by C.UTF-8/C.ASCII mismatch problem. By defining C.UTF-8 for LANG
    even if user use serial console (I attched a patch #263137), I believe
    this problem will be solved. At least ja_JP and fr_FR become work (some Japanese characters are corruted. hmm. This is terminal problem).

    My test environment:
    - Host: VMWare, d-i RC1, with option "linux console=ttyS0,57600"
    - Terminal: Debian + mlterm (UTF-8) + minicom

    Thanks,
