I'm now doing an install in French and I see
  Telechargement des pachets linguistiques (4:42 ...)
with a clock counting down.

This is good (although it makes a mockery of the progress bar) and I'm
pretty sure not what I saw in my earlier German install. LP is
working a lot better now. So if there's an LP query at the start of
langpack setup then I think this bug was due to LP operational
difficulties.

If you want any information from the German install in question (eg,
installer logs) please let me know because I'll probably wipe it
soon ...

Ian.
