Well, euro-support serves two purposes:

- provide documentation on how to enable euro-support. This documentation
  needs an important review since, in most cases, d-i will setup an UTF-8
  lcaole and, consequently, there's no need to do anything to have the euro
  char. It is primarily oriented to help users switch from ISO-8859-1 to
  ISO-8859-15 for *old* users (those that do not use an UTF-8 locale).

- help the user test if his system prints the euro character.

It does not (in any way) change the user's system (like localization-config
does automatically or user-es does through its 'castellanizar' script).

So I guess it could be kept for etch (no harm in doing so), I might allocate
some time to fix the first point above in time for the etch release.

Regards

Javier
