Bug Description

Binary package hint: debconf

This is debconf 1.5.14ubuntu1 from Gutsy Gibbon.

A simple template such as this one shows up blank in the debconf GNOME interface:

Template: foo/bar
Type: note
Description: foo
 bar © baz.

This template looks just fine in the dialog frontend, haven't tested the others. It also shows up correctly on Feisty Fawn (debconf 1.5.13ubuntu1).

Of course, replacing these characters with ASCII counterparts works around the issue. (But hey, (c) looks ugly.)
