Reported by ewxrjk, Mar 05, 2008

Currently the disorder/encoding value in debian/templates always defaults to UTF-8.  While this 
will increasingly often be right, it would be better still to use the system's default locale's character 
encoding here.

'locale -k charmap' will report the current encoding.

debconf-devel(7) recommends using the debconf SET command to set computed default.
