Comment 27 for bug 644736

David: Comment #23 was the comment that I was disagreeing with, yes :-)

I suspect that the problem is that most of ubiquity uses debconf translations, but apt relies on having the C library locale set correctly. We can only do this after we've generated the locale in the target system (and even then it will take some fiddling), but fortunately that's before most of our apt-related activity. I'll see if I can make this work.
