When choosing Liechtenstein as country, the pre-selected mirror should be a swiss one instead of a german one.

choose-mirror falls back to the default set for the selected language,
which I guess was German.

But with Liechtenstein as country, the first value in the language list
should be de_LI [1].
So, we could solve this if we're willing to add an exception by manually
adding a de_LI PO file for choose-mirror with as only translation the
strings that set the default mirror country to "CH".

Because we'd add it directly in the package, it would not affect
translation statistics.

Christian: do you see any problems with that?

[1] Except it isn't, see #560045. So I'm blocking this BR until that is
resolved.

Quoting Frans Pop (elendil@planet.nl):

We never did this before but I can't think of any problem implied by
this trick. Maybe size considerations and the fact that this would set
a precedent and thus lead to other such exceptions, leaving things
less and less maintainable. Hopefully, though, that case will remain a
corner case (which speaking about Liechtenstein, is a funny word to
use...).

single line in the udeb for mirror/http/countries:
Default-de_LI.UTF-8: CH

I'm not all that afraid of that. IMHO providing correct defaults is more
important and the implementation is fairly clean.

Unfortunately this trick does not work. It looks as if a default for a
language is only used if there is a valid translation for the relevant
template. Which actually makes sense.

I'm leaving the request open in case someone else thinks of an alternative
solution.

Hi

Thanks for the response.
I just opened another bug report and I don't know, if the problem there
is somehow related or not. Could you have a look at it?
This is the bug number: #560107
