I've had some experimentation, and I found that I understood a few things wrongly,
but here is a summary of what I found out:
I can symlink usr/lib/locale/ja_JP->C@utf-8 and setting locale to
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8
seems to allow whiptail-utf8 to do its thing.
Maybe dynamic symlinking after language is chosen / or include the
symlinks in the b-f image might simplify most things, I hope?
