I went back from partman and changed the installation language from
English to German. The rest of the d-i install happened in German, but
once I got to base-config, it was in English.
This is probably because the countrychooser doesn't run after language selection unless it is selected from the main-menu, and as a result the unresolved localecode 'de' is passed to base-config as it is, hence it
can't be found in SUPPORTED locales list which in turn base-config
fallbacks to English.
Some languages with multiple regions have 'xx' entries in languagelist,
and German is one of them ('de'). Only countrychooser/postinst has the
code to convert such entries. I don't know the details of main-menu, is
there a mechanism to call the countrychooser whenever the user selects languagechooser? Otherwise we could apply a hack in languagechooser
to call countrychooser for this type of second runs (but skip for the
first run). Let me know if I can do anything (i.e. working on a patch)
for this issue.
