Well, Pixel did post that this doesn't get tested much, and if you want
it to work, you should test in in betas, not final (not RCs either).

AFAIK. the "advanced" option is there to make *additional* languages
available, *not* to set the language used for installation etc.

Who would have if you didn't? Test the stuff you want to work, otherwise
there are no guarantees (since not everyone knows or remembers what
features need to be test).

Of course, having a set of tests per-package would be an idea, at this
stage we only find things that don't work, whereas we should also test
things that should work
