Ah, sorry, I thought languagelevel 1 was ascii-only. Yes, the current state is actually bogus, as you say, we should either go to assume UTF-8, or only have English/C (which I thought was the current state, like on serial consoles) > > > I think many languages in the list will not be shown correctly if one > > > uses ssh on a latin1 console. > > > > That's precisely the problem and the reason why we can't assume > > non-ascii languages will render correctly. > The state now is that d-i is using UTF-8 for all languages.

Not everybody have switched to it unfortunately (even if available). We can however assume UTF-8 for now (thus raise languagelevel for the ssh console, which is better than the current state anyway), and keep as TODO (if anybody feels about implementing it) using LANG from the client.
