Comment 6 for bug 666565

Colin's right, of course -- my main issue with this isn't software running locally, but remote systems. That's not trivial though: ssh into some legacy machine, and they might not have compiled your locale at all, or perhaps it's different (such as the case with en_IN). Of course, that's not an Ubuntu bug, but rather a problem with POSIX not separating charmaps from locales.
