I agree that it is a useful change, but also that it should go
through the Change process.
OK.

I wonder how many such packages there are. I have
seen many packages
which fail in an non-unicode locale, especially in tests. glibc-minimal-langpack
contains C.UTF-8 so that is should not be an issue. So far I haven't
seen packages that would depend on the presence of some specific
locales, except that many packages need *some* utf-8 locale so they
set some specific one, usually en_US.utf8. A quick grep shows that
there's maybe a 50 such packages that would need to be adjusted.
