Comment 4 for bug 590108

I did a patch to fix this bug. there was a two part need to modify.

1. Upgrade d-i/localechooser to 2.27 or greater to support that pressed LOCALE, LANGUAGE, COUNTRY but not only LOCALE, can anyone help to upgrade localechooser of ubiquity.

2. Modified language-installer, a hook script executed after ubiquity with a hack in the function `run` /bin/ubiquity-dm as below

What language-installer do is to Install languages deb by user's prefer display interface language, and it suppose to install by LOCALE variable , not by first language in LANGUAGE variable. I had done a fix for language-installer version 39, but now langauge-installer upstream moves to version 43. I will discuss with Steve.
