Bug#365308: Example of what happens when entering non ASCII characters in a select field



Attached is a snapshot of what's displayed when I enter "Christian
Périer" as user's full name in user-setup (I used full name rather
than login name so that I can see what happens later when the user is
created and whether the right encoding is used in what's passed ao useradd)).

Please note that "<E9>" is the code for "é" in ISO-8859-1. So it
barely seems that the keyboard input is interpreted as encoded in ISO
and not UTF-8.

If I alter run "debconf-get user-fullname" in VT2, I get "Christian
Périer" properly displayed (aka exactly what I entered)
