Bug#746415: Patch for non-UTF-8

[Osamu Aoki]

control: tags 746415 patch

I thought I send this message but I can not see this on BTS.

This bug is upstreamed and there is a proof of concept patch.  Since
Debian jessie always supports C.UTF-8, this upstream proposed patch
should be the good patch.

I do not know if he has 2 problems.  This may be partly due to the fact
he only has locales-all installed without locale.  I wonder what happens
if he create /etc/default/locale with 
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 or
LANG=C.UTF-8
if he is missing it. (I realized locale package can be removed now if
locales-all is installed.  This leaves me with POSIX ("") as LANG
value.)
