For some reason that doesn't work, dpkg-deb keeps segfaulting. I think that
setlocale() calls don't have any effect in forked processes, that is, when
you setlocale() something and afterwards fork() a process, the latter one
won't know about the previously set locale environment. It will when using
putenv(). Strange.
