Don't do that then, swwitch to .UTF-8. It's not 2002 anymore. And
I'd think that many other things at least assume UTF8 per default. Especially
since Debian defaults to UTF-8 since loong, too.

There's no Debian 8 (yet).

Then use  UTF-8 any be done (and this is with cups, not LOm, so irrelevant here)
But that proves my point above.
