Title:
  Sorting non-English list: French installer sorts accented names at end
  of alphabet

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Installing the natty release candidate (2011-04-25) from the live CD
  in French shows the list of countries during the keyboard selection.
  However, Éthiopie is listed at the end of the alphabet, presumably
  because of the accented E at the beginning of the name. This was
  probably not noticed as a bug before, because French often drops the
  accent on capital letters, but this seems to show that the sorting is
  not ignoring the accents, as it should (at least for French).
