Bug#892989: weird chars found in dpkg output

[Harald Dunkel]

systemd is version 232-25+deb9u2.

Please remember that we are talking about running apt and dpkg
using root to setup a server. Personal user desktop preferences
don't matter here.

I do not set LANG or LC_something for system administration.
Just using the default system environment suggested by the
locales postinst script ("None").

The remote system I called "apt install" or "apt upgrade" on
was a LXC container bootstrapped for Stretch:

	# lxc-create -t debian -n tisde9i002 -- -r stretch
	# chroot /var/lib/lxc/tisde9i002/rootfs passwd
	# lxc-start -n tisde9i002 -F

	login as root

	# apt update
	# apt install ebtables
	:
	:
	Setting up libxtables12:amd64 (1.6.0+snapshot20161117-6) ...
	Processing triggers for systemd (232-25+deb9u2) ...

	Setting up libnetfilter-conntrack3:amd64 (1.0.6-2) ...
	:
	# systemctl disable ebtables
	Synchronizing state of ebtables.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install.
	Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable ebtables
	# systemctl mask ebtables
	Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/ebtables.service → /dev/null.
	#


BTW, "apt purge ebtables" doesn't remove /etc/systemd/system/ebtables.service
On the next "apt install ebtables" it was still masked.
