Sorry it took so long to follow up on this. So, when I run "simple-cdd --locale=en_CH --keyboard=us" I get a working installer image that asks which locale to use, presenting text suggesting what the problem is: There is no locale defined for the combination of language and country you have selected. ... When I build an image with "simple-cdd --locale=en_US --keyboard=us" it skips the question prompting for language, as expected. So, you need to provide values to debian-installer that are supported by debian-installer: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs04.en.html#preseed-l10n From the looks of it, locales present in /etc/locale.gen should be supported in general. I do need to explore using the auto-install/enable=true a.k.a. auto=true parameter in simple-cdd, or moving simple-cdd to initrd preseeding, both of which would allow preseeding country/language/keyboard settings through a preseed file, and possibly allow arbitrary selection of country and language. live well, vagrant
