Both are indeed the same. Sorting translated choices is *very* tricky. It requires the use of Indices fields in the templates file (after it has been generated by po-debconf) choose-mirror has an example�: there, country names are really sroted even when translated. This has been done with a Denis Barbier script named sort-countries. Using more or less the same system for countrychooser is theoretically possible but, for the short list even more tricky as this short list itself has a special generation system (see "mkshort"). So, considering we are now officially in a feature freeze time period (see the "yet-to-be-written" 20040706 d-i metting summary), this is quite unlikely to be implemented in a near future.
