For this, we would need to have a udeb with the /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file when countrychooser (or later localechooser) is run. This would make us rid of SUPPORTED-short, however. And, again, save another thing included at build time. If you're OK with the 6213-3304 bytes loss in the initrd, then we should clone this bug and reassign one part to the glibc package, asking for a locales-udeb with just /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. With this locales-udeb package, then a lot of locale/country/language things could be moved out from build time to execution time in localechooser. For instance, the fact that a language is "multi-country" or not is currently a build-time thing and could become execution-time. So, let's ask the question to Masanori Goto�: would you consider a special locales-udeb package with just the /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file?
