Subject: libglib2.0-0: Shouldn't require to set G_FILENAME_ENCODING in non UTF-8
 locale

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.4.6-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: Policy 9.9

Unless the environment G_BROKEN_FILENAMES is or G_FILENAME_ENCODING is
set to "@locale", the encoding used fr filenames is utf-8 regardless
of the encoding of the locale, which in my opinion is not a
"reasonable default". Here's a patch to use the locale's encoding if
G_FILENAME_ENCODING is not set.
