Detox's system-wide config file /etc/detoxrc defines filter sequences
than can be used with the detox command-line tool. The default sequence
translates 8-bit ISO-8859-1 characters to "safe" ASCII characters. Using
ISO-8859-1 may not suit well for Debian because Debian's system-wide
locale uses UTF-8 encoding (since Etch). In detox it means that each
octet in UTF-8 multibyte characters are translated separately to "safe"
characters.
I suggest changing the default sequence so that it uses utf_8 table. See
the attached patch.
