Because of this Ubuntu installation from live DVD takes a lot of time and requires 2 x more disk space comparing with installation from live CD (because all unneeded languages files from live filesystem are at first copied to hard disk and only then removed) :(
To solve these problems we should use modules to casper, so it'll look for a set of squashfs filesystems in /casper/ and mount those with unionfs, like Tollef Fog Heen suggested at comment #3
There are already several distros, based on Ubuntu or Debian, which use this technology, look for example at http://pud-linux.sourceforge.net/opt.en.html (http://code.google.com/p/opt-get/)
Should I report another bug about use of modules or reopen this bug ?

Btw, Kubuntu and Edubuntu DVD images still doesn't contain all available language packs, only Ubuntu DVD image has all language packs... Also, I've noticed, that Edubuntu 8.04.1 filesystem.squashfs actualy is Ubuntu 8.04RC filesystem, dated 21 April :(
