This ensures packages build on a UTF-8 locale system with non-ASCII character
names can be installed on non-UTF-8 systems.

Arch Linux has been explicitly setting the C locale when packaging with
devtools for a long time.  I think it is best we address this at the source.
bsdtar will give a warning when dealing with a file having non-ASCII
characters during packaging, but the resulting package works.
