I tried to run installer in Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian languages with default keyboard for each of those languages. D-I was ran until it tries to configure network. Then option to ocnfigure network manually was selected. Then I rtied to enter some Cyrillic text. Results: 1. For Ukrainian and Belarusian I was not able to enter any Cyrillic text because I was not able to find switcher key (all keys Ctrl, Alt, Win, Menu were tried). 2. For Russian after pressing right Ctrl key I was able to enter somthing that is not Latin - that something was displayed as <XX>, where X - hexadecimal digit. It probably was some single-byte encoding (i guess it was KOI8-R). 3. Ukrainian was tested with "install24" with the same result. 4. /var/log/syslog says that keymap "ua" was selected and contains a lot of warnings "unknown keysym". > I assume this is with a daily built CD-based image?
