Bug Description

[Impact] The installer reports incomplete language support when it shouldn't.
[Test case] Run an alternate install in en_US and make sure it doesn't report incomplete language support after installation. (This test case is just for the language-selector half; the pkgsel half is less urgent and only affects netboot.)
[Regression potential] Seems very safe - it's just running through set() to deduplicate, and the resulting set is fed to sorted() almost immediately afterwards.

Original report follows:

Quantal Netboot

After installation in English from a Quantal netboot ISO, I got the "Incomplete language support" dialog

I suspect this is because for historical reasons we appear not to install language-selector-common in the netboot case and thus don't have check-language-support. I don't see any justification for this nowadays, so I'll fix that and see if that improves things.

  * Install language-selector-common even for netboot installs, since we
    need check-language-support (LP: #1056689).
