This bug has been around for 2 weeks without comment, I'm just trying to understand what is going on.
The mechanism in the title is certainly how fallback is meant to be
activated and I can't see anything in the cdebconf C source code that
would change that.
I don't do much with D-I so I can only think that something is wrong
with the environment:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# LANGUAGE=se:nb:no:nn:da:sv
/usr/lib/cdebconf/dpkg-reconfigure dpkg-cross
Obsolete command TITLE Default cross-build architecture selection called
Default cross-build architecture selection
------------------------------------------
Om den här maskinen typiskt används för att bygga för en huvudarkitektur, kan
du välja den arkitekturen här för att slippa
ange den igen när du kör dpkg-cross, apt-cross eller emdebian-tools. Välj
'Ingen' för att inte ha något standardval.
Standardarkitektur för krossbyggnation:
1. Ingen [*] 3. amd64 5. armeb 7. hppa 9. ia64 11. mips
13. powerpc 15. sparc
2. alpha 4. arm 6. armel 8. i386 10. m68k 12. mipsel
14. s390

dpkg-cross
Obsolete command TITLE Default cross-build architecture selection called
Default cross-build architecture selection
------------------------------------------
If this machine is typically cross-building for one main architecture, you can
select that architecture here to save
specifying it again when running dpkg-cross, apt-cross or emdebian-tools.
Select 'None' to have no default.
Default cross-building architecture:
1. None [*] 3. amd64 5. armeb 7. hppa 9. ia64 11. mips
13. powerpc 15. sparc
2. alpha 4. arm 6. armel 8. i386 10. m68k 12. mipsel

So fallback does appear to work in this respect - sv gets chosen as the
only language supported by this particular package.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls /opt/working/dpkg-cross/debian/po/
cs.po CVS de.po fr.po it.po ja.po ka.po nl.po POTFILES.in pt.po ru.po
sv.po templates.pot uk.po
Testing with those languages shows that the fallback mechanism does
work - at least outside D-I.
