Bug#603915: release-notes: Please document that use of non-UTF8 locales is strongly discouraged
How about adding this to old-stuff.dbk :
---------------
<footnote><para>In the GNOME screensaver using passwords with non-ASCII
characters, pam_ldap support, or even the ability to unlock the screen is
unreliable when not using UTF8. The GNOME screenreader is affected by bug
<ulink url="http://bugs.debian.org/599197">#599197</ulink>. The Nautilus file
manager (and all glib-based programs, and likely all Qt-based programs too)
assume that filenames are in UTF-8, while the shell assumes they are in the
current locale’s encoding. In daily use, non-ASCII filenames are just unusable
in such setups.</para></footnote>
---------------
? Would that be sufficient to close the bug?
Bye,
Joost
