Uhm, no. It's _udpkg_ and it uses the files from debian-installer (so there will only be like < 100 packages in total). anna will have to download only the selected language, though there isn't a languagechooser in d-i, yet.

Well, udpkg doesn't care about that, so support for those will have to be merged into anna. That might be sane to do, though.
