What is the behaviour of the text frontend? Anyway, using non-utf-8 terminal with C.UTF-8 locale is a bad idea. If the terminal is non-utf and the locale is C.UTF-8 then we may use only ASCII symbols. > Should this just be worked around by hacking on cdebconf to > translate NBSP to spaces before display? Or probably unset the LANG environment variable? Thus cdebconf (and its frontends) will know that the terminal is not utf-8.
