Package: moodle
Version: 1.4.4.dfsg.1-3sarge1
Severity: important

After today's security upgrade, Moodle pages contained an http-equiv header
saying, incorrectly, that the pages were in iso-8859-1.  This made the
site entirely unusable on browsers that aren't set to guess the encoding
themselves (at least with the language packs we use, which are in utf-8).

I finally found a solution in the code: /usr/share/moodle/lib/weblib.php,
in a stretch of code starting with "if (!empty($CFG->unicode)) {".  
This is the only mention of a "unicode" setting anywhere in the package,
but setting this variable to 'true' in /etc/moodle/config.php solved the
problem.
