The Euro-sign is the least problem as you say. No-one really uses the
international currency sign, whatever it should be used for.
Latin1 has some loose accents (diearesis, cedilla, acute accent)
missing in latin9 (or a least moved). These may not be very
problematic.
But I have seen 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 used a lot in latin1. In Latin9 these
characters becomes capital OE-ligature, small oe-ligature and capital
Y with diaeresis. (No, I havn't checked if they are used in existing
debconf-templates)
Not that I'm saying it would be hard to use Latin9 for all the
languages we otherwise would have used latin1 for. Just that it isn't
only the euro-sign we have to look after.
