Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Severity: normal

When xterm is running in ru_RU locale (which uses ISO-8859-5), it shows
characters as if they were KOI8-R encoded, giving garbage:

$ locale;locale charmap;date
LANG=ru_RU
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU"
LC_TIME="ru_RU"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU"
LC_PAPER="ru_RU"
LC_NAME="ru_RU"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU"
LC_ALL=
ISO-8859-5
аяБ ╢уз  3 13:16:22 SAMT 2005

LANG=ru_RU.ISO8859-5 xterm shows characters in iso-8859-5 encoding.
ru_RU.UTF-8, ru_RU.KOI8-R and ru_RU.CP1251 locales are unaffected.

$ grep ru_RU /etc/locale.gen 
ru_RU ISO-8859-5
ru_RU.KOI8-R KOI8-R
ru_RU.CP1251 CP1251
ru_RU.UTF-8 UTF-8

My .Xresources file contains
XTerm*locale: true
XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso10646-1

XTerm*VT100.utf8Fonts.font6: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--28-280-72-72-c-140-iso10646-1


P.S. ISO-8859-5 ru_RU locale is not widely used, but
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED contains "ru_RU ISO-8859-5" line
