Are there bug reports for these individual issues that you mention? Locale encoding is a touchy political issue as well as involving a certain coordinated transition in the case of shared filesystems, so if we're going to recommend that users switch to UTF-8 as part of the upgrade to squeeze, I'd like us to be able to point somewhere for more information about the problems they'll run into if they don't. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
