If I were to build a GNU system, I would make UTF-8 the default,
but then I would also make all sure all applications use that out
of the box (actually, is emacs ready for that? I am unsure).
For what it is worth, GNU will use UTF-8 by default. As for Emacs, I
don't think so, there is a

UTF-8 is a complex standard. It is not insanely so. It is complex
because it is representing a very complex problem.
It is a standard computer programmer's disease

I'm not shure if this is a Debian issue. Why should Debian have a
different default encoding?

I hope this to go in the next hurd upload, which is eagerly expected by

I think this should be the default. The change will be in MAKEDEV. Will
you submit bug for the hurd package?
