Bug#143941: define a usable character set for description/maintainer name etc.



Hi,

	Can the debian packaging tools handle UTF-8 characters? Would
 apt-cache show be able to display the description for the package on
 the console or in a xterm? As far as I know, UTF-8 is not as
 widespread as one would hope.

	If that is the case, we should defer this move until after
 better UTF adaption. (I don't know -- I use en_US.UTF-8, but I have
 no idea what this change would entail for other locales).

	manoj
