Package: haskell-devscripts Severity: important haskell_devscripts needs to run GHC registration with a UTF-8 locale. Otherwise, it will fail with an error like the below if the .cabal file contains a UTF-8 copyright symbol:

It seems the LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 can't be prepended to the command line as was before as bash isn't used.
