That works better with the libncursesw.  I added a few sample files for
UTF-8 as I was testing.  w3m itself doesn't do very well on those - you
must be referring to one of the patched w3m packages.  (I looked into
setting one up, but it seemed geared solely toward CJK support).

I don't think anyone is packaging it.  Debian may (it's mostly a matter of
people finding time).
