[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#385085: allow non-US-ASCII characters in the GECOS field

In the current stable, the following message which appears to be an error currently is showed.

chfn -f "Mr.Högberg" myuser
chfn: name with non-ASCII characters: 'Mr.Högberg'

In my humble opinion, I think that this type of message should not appear when UTF-8 is currently widely implemented in Debian.

Thank you very much!
