Bug Description

All our systems default to a UTF-8 locale.

recent grep exposes more unicode stricness (bug /1547466) and thus we really need UTF-8 locale by default during builds (we see a lot of FTBFS).

A lot of packages started to build-depend on langpacks, and/or otherwise resorting to expose unicode locale by default.

this is a long standing request, and this should be done for xenial and up.

Please see this as an explicit request.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * slave-prep: Output current versions of git-build-recipe, git, and
    qemu-user-static.
  * Always raise exception instances rather than using the two-argument form
    of raise.
  * buildsnap: Run just "snapcraft" rather than "snapcraft all"; works with
    snapcraft << 2.0 and >= 2.3.
  * sbuild-package: Default LANG/LC_ALL to C.UTF-8 (LP: #1552791).

  [ Kit Randel ]
  * Add http/s proxy support for snap builds.
  * Refactor buildsnap into distinct repo, pull, build and proxy token
    revocation phases.
