I am not sure that it is relevant here. The issue is would it
be right to have encoded characters in a package name.

No, the otherwise encoded locales are still there, like fr_FR.

Even if the user isn't interested in this particular package, the package
name may still appears somewhere (in repoquery calls, for example). Or
as a dependency.


I don't feel strongly about that issue, but I have seen so 
many trouble with encodings that I think it is better to be
cautious.

I know some people still using 8 bit locales. That is a situation
we shouldn't prevent, and we should leave this choice to the user
(even though we are more targetting utf8).
