Bug#1036357: use C.UTF8 as default locale

[Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues]

Package: help2man
Version: 1.49.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

the current default locale is C. This means that any non-ascii character
will show up as "??" in the resulting man page. By letting the default
locale be "C.UTF8", unicode characters will be treated correctly.
Attached is a patch.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
