Bug#536614: Provides wrong information about the encoding of the locales

The locales you can choose with the last question of localechooser are
*additionnal* locales for the lcaoles package to generate. None of
them is meant to become the default locale.

So, I don't really think that enforcing d-i/charmap to UTF-8 is wrong
as the system's default locale will always be UTF-8.
