Maybe this bug is grave as it might have security impact.

When I did "reportbug apt" it will list me several bugs and then the
display gets frozen in the line "80) #172050 [n||=â".

It looks for me that there is no sufficient locale conversion/check. I
use latin1 terminal all around and have seen that behaviour sometimes
when doing cat of a file with UTF-8 chars inside.
