Hi, I too have some issue with UTF-8, although I can install and remove
software without a problem, my logs get filled with perl warnings about
locales.

(peter@thruxton:~)% locale     
LANG=en_CA.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_CA.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

As you can see LC_ALL is unset, I use rxvt-unicode and can see special
characters except inside GNU Screen for some reason. How do I set LC_ALL
the `debian way'?
