Gah! It's even worse. ai-chooser just blindly assumes that all images 
include both localechooser and kbd-chooser while that is not guaranteed.

In fact, in most pkg-lists definitions localechooser is included from 
common, while kbd-chooser is included from <arch>.cfg.
In the current situation ai-chooser basically overrides any other choices 
made in the pkg-lists. Not Very Nice At All!

IMO ai-chooser should be split into two separate udebs, one depending on 
localechooser and one on kbd-chooser and auto-install (which runs before 
it) should anna-install them *only* if the postinst of localechooser resp. 
kbd-chooser is present.

That would also allow for a clean migration to console-setup-udeb when 
we're ready for that.
