I doubt that "langsupport" will be understood in an Ubuntu context.

Try

1) Changing "language=en" instead of "language=en_US". "language=en"
is the short cmdline version of "debian-installer/language".

2) Adding "auto=true" and/or "priority=critical".

3) Adding "locale=en_US.UTF-8" if the above two don't solve your problem.
