Do you have perl installed (or more specifically, do you have
I18N::Langinfo on your system)?  It's an optional module that we
conditionally load.  If it's not loaded, input in locales other than
English doesn't work, unsurprisingly.

If you do have that installed, let me know and I'll dig through the
logic there - there were some recent changes, so it's possible I've
introduced a bug.

Though it works *with perl-modules installed*, unfortunately, in a clean sid
chroot without perl-modules, the patch breaks adduser:

# adduser test
Can't locate Encode.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/sbin/adduser line 78.

Ok, I look into debconf code and rewrite patch without Encode.pm.
