I think debconf should use UTF-8 for the templates and recode on the fly. There's nothing worse than having gibberish in ten different charsets in the same template file. Of course, using UTF-8 would make things much harder for translators unless Debian used UTF-8 by default... :-| -- Cesar Eduardo Barros [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
