Package: upgrade-system
Version: 1.7.2.3
Severity: normal

/usr/sbin/upgrade-system sets LC_ALL hard to C.UTF-8

There are at least two problems with that:
- - C has no UTF-8 locale usually and is clean 7bit
- - UTF-8 is not always the right choice for output and will have strange
  side effects on some terminals if the terminal is running with
  different charset.

Instead I suggest two possible solutions:
- - Using the language settings the user/admin of the system has set. This
  has the advantage that the choice of them is properly used so no side
  effects are expected.
- - Use plain C charset. That might be needed for some tools to force them
  using only 7bit. However, I think that is the least good solution as
  it will disregard the user/admin choice.
