Bug#952516: please support LC_CTYPE=UTF-8

[Harald Dunkel <harald.dunkel@aixigo.com>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.29-10
Severity: wishlist

Apparently MacOS 10.15 uses "UTF-8" instead of "C.UTF-8". This
affects ssh terminal sessions from MacOS to Debian, e.g.

	# apt upgrade
	:
	:
	Processing triggers for mime-support (3.64) ...
	Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.29-10) ...
	perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
	perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	        LANGUAGE = (unset),
	        LC_ALL = (unset),
	        LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",
	        LC_COLLATE = "C",
	        LANG = "C"
	    are supported and installed on your system.
	perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
	perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
	perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	        LANGUAGE = (unset),
	        LC_ALL = (unset),
	        LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8",

	        LANG = "C"
	    are supported and installed on your system.
	perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

The workaround is to run

	localedef -i C -f UTF-8 UTF-8

on Debian, but probably others are affected by this problem
as well. A central solution would be reasonable.

Do you think it would be possible to introduce "UTF-8" as an
alias for "C.UTF-8"?
