[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#534587: debian-installer: Please set /etc/inittab to gracefully handle 8bit (UTF-8) environments

Is this problem perhaps related to bug #547073, which was fixed by
patching init in version 2.87dsf-7?  On which tty was this problem
experienced?  Was it present in both tty1 and tty2?

If the problem still exist, I am unsure how we can reliably fix it
both for new installations and for existing installations without
unwanted side effects.  New installations are trivial, while fixing it
during upgrades is harder.

Happy hacking,
