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.

As for Matthias Urlichs's problem

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.)
