Ah, silly me, I was testing using a netboot image rather than desktop,
which was why I was seeing the mandatory country question.  Thanks for
the debug log.

What's happening here is that the country question is being asked, but
isn't preseeded, so it winds up defaulting to the first in alphabetical
order from the English choices, i.e. Africa -> Algeria, country code DZ.
choose-mirror then just follows on from that.  We probably ought to
avoid that when the locale is C, but before doing that I need to audit
all our installer code, choose-mirror and other things, to make sure
that it will deal correctly with debian-installer/country being empty.

I'll need to do at least some of this investigation before I'm able to
say whether this will be feasible for 10.04 LTS.  I hope it will be.
