Package: xlibs
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: normal
when you have in /etc/locale.gen :
en_US UTF-8
fr_FR UTF-8
and that I use (as you can see at the end of the bugreport)
LC_ALL/LANG set to fr_FR, X does not detects that the charmap is UTF-8
wich is odd.
it results in broken (well in fact incomplete) compose key, that is
only able to create latin1 chars. e.g. <Multi_key> + E + =3D does not
produce =E2=82=AC as it should.

Not exactly, compose files are mapped to locale names, see
/usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.{alias,dir}. If you use non standard
names, you need to modify these files as well (which is not a good
solution because they are not configuration files) or tell X which
compose files you want, either via an XCOMPOSEFILE environment
variable or by symlinking /usr/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
to $HOME/.XCompose.
