Binary package hint: ubiquity

During install of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta1,
1. I selected the Greek language. The same problem appears with Russian and any script that has translated 'xkeyboard-config' to a non-ASCII language.
2. At the keyboard layout page, the translated strings of xkeyboard-config appear as ????????????.

This is an encoding issue.

I do not know where the installer finds the Greek localisation messages for xkeyboard-config.
Something happens in the Python code that messed up the encoding.

In addition, in one of the screenshots below it shows that layout list gets corrupted. The layout list includes system directories.
