Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Testing the installer on a virtual machine, I noticed that in some cases in the first screen the text containing the links to the release notes and to updating the installer appear truncated.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start the installation of the Ubuntu Desktop
2. Wait for the graphical installer to start
3. Choose any of Spanish, Asturian or Catalan as a language (see screenshot in Spanish)
4. Notice that the "You might want to read the release notes or upgrade this installer" string appears truncated at the end
Notes:
Strangely, in other languages such as French and German (see screenshot) this string is not truncated.
I've also noticed that if I keep cycling between languages in the list, eventually the string is not truncated for those languages where it initially was.

* Break out of oem-config-
succeeds (LP: #558593).
* Quit plymouth before starting either the emergency noninteractive
ubiquity frontend in automatic mode, or oem-config's debconf frontend.
* Get a controlling terminal before starting bterm, as otherwise bterm
won't reliably be able to take console input.
