Subject: installation-reports: Archive mirror country should be alphabetical 
by name, not country code
Version: beta 2
Severity: minor

Trying to install using debian-installer on ppc (writing this from
another ppc Debian box). Don't know if this is an OK place to report
this bug.

When prompting for an appropriate mirror, the alphabetization is done
based on the country code (US, FR, DE). It should be done on the
user-visible, localized country name. The obvious country that this
affects is Switzerland, which has at least 4 name (Schweiz, Suisse,
Svizzera, and Switzerland), but it's country code is CH (Latin for
Confederatio Helvetica). Looking for Switzerland under 'C' is not very
user-friendly, but it's a common mistake. Spain under 'E' is also a problem.
