The "unifont" package will be installed by default in Sarge.
And, most Japaness ttf font packages, like ttf-kochi-gothic and
ttf-kochi-mincho,
support ISO10646 as well, although they seems a little buggy.

I mean, if xx_XX.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE were all correct,
We should be able to launch "LC_ALL=xx_XX.UTF-8 xmms" in all xx_XX.UTF-8
locale without any problem.
So, I suggest that ISO10646 should be at the top of all
xx_XX.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE.
