Uhh, that seems a pretty bold assertion to me. Who says so? Is it the
Debian position that it is not a bug that software doesn't work with
non-UTF-8 locales/filenames? Has this been discussed on e.g.
debian-devel?

Ok, trying that, thanks :) Still it seems to me that working with
"broken filenames" should be the default. Switching to UTF-8 is a good
goal, I agree with that, but at this point I would consider brokenness
with other locales most definitely a bug.
