+1 to setting UTF-8 as default. Some Java packages that I worked with contain source files with symbols not recognized by compilers unless the encoding is set to UTF-8. Mostly these symbols are a copyright sign "©" apprearing in the license section, occasionally CJK letters in the author names. This change to dpkg should be able to solve the problem conveniently.
