Bug#1037220: localechooser: Support for No localization with UTF-8 charset
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Dear Debian-Installer Team,
I am choosing "No localization" option in the localechooser menu because I am
not interested in using any locale options. However, this option also implies
the ASCII charset. Some applications print empty or incorrect characters due to
the ASCII charset, such as when opening UTF-8 files with nano.
Actually, to enable UTF-8 support system-wide, I am manually changing my locale
settings to C.UTF-8 after the installation process.
I would like to suggest adding an option called "No localization with UTF-8
charset" to localechooser, in addition to the existing "No localization" option
[1].
Regards,
José Ángel Pastrana
