FYI - since grml tracks Debian very closely:

UTF-8 encoding default for new systems

    The installer will set up systems to use UTF-8 encoding rather than
    the old language-specific encodings (like ISO-8859-1, EUC-JP or
    KIO-8).

(I know, mika & gang are working on it post-0.9, thanks, this is for
everyone else)
(p.s. Ubuntu already defaults to UTF-8)
