We have something better�: debian-installer/language contains things
like:

en_BR:en_US:en_GB:en

Or 

pt_BR:pt:en_GB:en

How we set this value is a tricky combination of languagechooser and
countrychooser....

It will always contain at least a valid locale which is supposed to be
as close as possible to the user choices. For instance a fallback for
Ukrainian locale (uk_UA) is a russian one (ru_UA).....

This is maybe not perfect and the 5th field in the languagelist file
in languagechooser should be carefully chosen for every
language....but we here have a good source for finding a good locale�:
just cycle through all possible values, from left to right and use the
first valid one....and fallback to C is none is valid of course...
