Bug Description
Binary package hint: screen
Is there any reason we can't have:
defutf8 on
in /etc/screenrc? The use case I have in mind is people using irssi in screen, neither of which enable UTF-8 by default, but I expect this shows up elsewhere. What I don't know is, are there things which are negatively effected? I've no memory of having encountered such problems.

I'll be glad to fix this in byobu's configuration, which provides a sane set of additional defaults for screen sessions started under byobu.

This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 2.15-0ubuntu1
---------------
byobu (2.15-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* profiles/common: defutf8 on seems like a sane default, at this point,
LP: #301447
* debian/control: trying to fix upgrade issues, add
provides/
NOTE: we can't provide a dummy screen-profiles package, as we
must have screen-profiles uninstalled first, to remove the
dpkg-diversion of /usr/bin/screen
* byobu: force the janitor to run on startup to create the environment
* byobu-status: fix --detail, detect script dir

It seems as though this may not be necessary, further investigation required.
