Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Using Ubuntu Alternate i386 (20080930.4) Intrepid-Beta Iso on an old machine 
(233 Mhz, 160 Mb RAM) it takes a lot of time to install. I don't have any 
problems with that, but as I inspected on the terminal (via alt+f4) what was 
happening during the installation process I saw, that it was generating every 
single [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale.
Actually it shouldn't, because I only ticked (in expert mode btw) [EMAIL 
PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it was taking an awful 
lot of time generating all these [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc. 
locales.
I was using the expert mode, nolapi noapic, pci=irqmask=0x0e98, keyboard-layout 
105 (Intel) key - germany - nodeadkeys and a Finnish location and time zone. 
The standard locale was set to be [EMAIL PROTECTED], the terminal was also set 
to UTF-8. I had only the CD and no network access, thus denying network access 
when prompted.

I would have expected it to install and generate [EMAIL PROTECTED] and, if on 
the CD, also [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Instead it installed all flavors of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and silently skipped the 
other languages. Later on (after installing, in GNOME via an information box in 
the upper right-hand corner) I was warned, that the locales were not installed 
completely and I could fix it now if I had internet access.
I don't know, which flavor of [EMAIL PROTECTED] it actually used, because I 
don't know, how much of the specific locales is translated, but at least some 
man-pages seamed to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (that is, they used american english)
