It doesn't actually have anything directly to do with "install updates
during install".  This isn't downloading updates, it's downloading
language packs.

Checking package checksums is supposed to be apt's responsibility, not
ubiquity's.  apt normally *does* check the checksum, and in my tests a
proxy that deliberately corrupts packages on the way through causes an
exception to be raised, which at worst ought to cause ubiquity to
display an error message but continue largely normally.  This isn't
happening in the cases in this bug and its duplicates.  Rather than
adding another layer of error checking which duplicates a layer of error
checking that's supposed to be there already, I would like to figure out
why the current layer of error checking isn't working.
