"grave" means "makes the package unusable for almost everybody", which is clearly not the case. I adapted the severity to something sensible. > I installed postgresql on testing.

PostgreSQL uses the normal libc toupper()/tolower()/etc. functions (as can be seen in src/backend/utils/adt/oracle_compat.c). Unfortunately the libc functions do not support non-ASCII characters for now, so this does not work throughout the system (besides, it is a hell of a job to actually implement this since you need a mapping of probably thousands of characters). I reassign this bug to libc6. Thanks for your report and have a nice day!
