Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm trying to preseed a 14.04.2 installation with hands-off[0] and found
a bug in do_pressed[1].

When looking up known languages[2] a $lang variable is used bug comes
from nowhere (empty), I think it should be $ps_language.

I started an installation, pause it (thanks hands-off) and add some set
-x in some script to debug.

Here are the logs from localechooser do_preseed line 162[3] to 179[4]:
