The question marks[1] are what I was referring to.  Consider this from
the point of view of someone working on the Debian package: would
users consider that an appropriate or positive change for squeeze+1?
(Hint: not if it doesn't come with some benefit in their locale, no.)

I suspect making git work with other LC_CTYPE would not actually be
too hard[2].  Such fixes are useful for futureproofing and increased
sanity anyway --- they do not have to be part of the l10n branch imho.

[1] fatal: unable to stat 'foo.c': Op?ration non permise
[2] except that annoying printf bug.
