I understand completely wanting input and output localized to the same
language (I can imagine the confusion otherwise, believe me) but the
install cd is really out of my hands - I have nothing to do with it.  If
you want to ask about this on the IRC channel #debian-boot or the
mailing list debian-boot at lists.debian.org and let me know what the
authoritative people over there say about including perl-modules in a
default install image in order to properly localize this question, that
would be great.

Thanks,
