Package: postgresql-8.3
Version: 8.3~rc2-1+b1
Severity: important
Apparantly the default encoding for the database cluster is sql_ascii, maybe
depending on environmental settings during installation (with aptitude).
Please make it configurable during installation, or choose a wiser default, in
which case UTF8 comes to mind (which is used in the Windows version also
I seem to recall).

Hi Joost,

Defaulting to your system locale is sensible IMHO, and I won't change
that.
You can explicitly use a different encoding with pg_createuser's
--locale option (see the manpage).
Thanks,
Martin
