Well, some of the fields seem to be ASCII; some of them are UTF-8. What do you propose in this case -- hacking support for this kind of "undefined encoding" stuff into cdebconf? We'd probably need to carry quite a bit of metadata around even if we only wanted to copy the character set, much less parse it... (Disclaimer: I haven't looked properly at cdebconf source since I was active in d-i development around 2003 or so, so there might be easier ways.) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
