Thanks for your report. I think this is because the font build process doesn't include /usr/share/localechooser/languagelist.data.gz in its calculations of which characters to include.

We're going to need to reupload d-i for the new kernel anyway, so it shouldn't be too difficult to fix this at the same time.

Fixed in bzr. I've compared the resulting unifont.bdf files before and after and this change adds precisely those two characters.

---------------
debian-installer (20080522ubuntu23) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Take /usr/share/localechooser/languagelist.data.gz into account when
    building reduced font (LP: #287668).
