The Ubuntu server cd's use en_US if you just hit enter, so this seems like a 
sane default to me. 

Denis, Have you used launchpad.net before?  I encourage you to use launchpad 
the  submit a bug to this project.  I can do it if you do not have time, but 
it is a very helpful thong for people on the list to do.
