[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#931411: samba-common-bin: samba-tool user create error with unicode characters in the names

[Ouvry Etienne]

Hello;

I have exactly the same problem with debian 10 and samba 4.9.11+dfsg-1 
with option : --given-name='Loïc'

root at cdct:~# samba-tool user create ltest --userou='OU=Power 
users,OU=Users,OU=Paris1,OU=site,OU=azp' --surname='ltest' 
--given-name='Loïc' --mail-address='ltest at sqli.com' --department='BA2' 
--physical-delivery-office='Paris1' --uid='ltest' --uid-number='3906'
