Apparently MacOS 10.15 uses "UTF-8" instead of "C.UTF-8". This
affects ssh terminal sessions from MacOS to Debian, e.g.

        # apt upgrade
        :
        :
        Processing triggers for mime-support (3.64) ...
        Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.29-10) ...
        perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
        perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

                LC_COLLATE = "C",
                LANG = "C"
            are supported and installed on your system.
        perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

The workaround is to run

        localedef -i C -f UTF-8 UTF-8

on Debian, but probably others are affected by this problem
as well. A central solution would be reasonable.

Do you think it would be possible to introduce "UTF-8" as an
alias for "C.UTF-8"?
