Emacs already sets Latin 1 things in some situations (see
term/linux.el). Even more, Emacs already partially supports encoding
setting with respect to locales (The Right Way to do so, IMHO), though
you have to include an `iso8859*' part in the appropriate `LC_*'
variable (which makes sense certainly).
So I think no encoding setting is needed and no change should be applied
in the Debian package. I don't like too "advanced" settings in Debian
packages.
