I made a branch to test some changes in countrychooser: svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/people/barbier/countrychooser or svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/people/barbier/countrychooser The main goal is to get rid of iso-codes for English country names, and replace them by those found in ICU, which are much more neutral. Translations have not been fuzzied (but I could not refrain myself from editing fr.po). Only countries/regions part of a locale in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED or which can be selected in choose-mirror are listed, which makes debian/templates half-size. The requested change in menu item has also been performed so that anyone can test if this is too verbose. I only checked that debian/templates is generated without trouble, latest stuff about short country list may break this package, I will test it tomorrow.
