Comment 3 for bug 23537

This is better now, following these four uploads:

shadow (1:4.0.3-37ubuntu7) breezy; urgency=low

  * Stop including passwd.templates in initial-passwd-udeb.templates; it's
    no longer necessary with passthrough, and it triggers a debconf-copydb
    bug which wipes out all translations in the target configdb.

oem-config (0.9) breezy; urgency=low

  * Quieten output from deluser.
  * Quieten output from debconf-communicate while resetting passwd/user-uid.
  * Try setting LANG to the value of debian-installer/fallbacklocale if the
    value of debian-installer/locale isn't a valid locale (Ubuntu #17366).
  * Set labels in passwd and timezone windows to the translated descriptions
    of the same questions in the installer; sync text of passwd labels with
    the text in passwd.templates (Ubuntu #17366).
  * Re-register passwd/user-fullname and passwd/username templates to
    themselves rather than debian-installer/dummy (although it's a bug
    somewhere in preseeding that they're left this way) so that we get
    useful translated descriptions for them.
  * Set title of timezone window to the translated description of
    tzconfig/title. Unfortunately this is too hard to do for the passwd
    window at present.
  * Exiting oem-config can leave you without a configured user, so try not
    to exit unnecessarily. If we have to, then print an error message with
    instructions and drop the user to a shell, since that's better than a
    login prompt with no users.
  * Reload /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-config.templates for timezone question;
    for some reason the translations seem to be getting lost from it.

localechooser (0.13ubuntu12) breezy; urgency=low

  * Set labels in oem-config locale window to the translated descriptions of
    the same questions in the installer (Ubuntu #17366).

kbd-chooser (1.18ubuntu8) breezy; urgency=low

  * Set title and label in oem-config keyboard window to the translated
    descriptions of the same questions in the installer (Ubuntu #17366).

There are still some missing translations, notably "Choose a language:" and the
"User configuration" title, and a few other i18n-related bugs. These can - and
will have to - wait until Ubuntu 6.04 now, though, as we're doing candidate
final builds for Ubuntu 5.10 now.
