I have to add EBCSIC text support to deal with IBM OS text messages. I have succesfuly added EBCDIC support to a CentOS box by adding lang and encoding to /etc/i18n/sysconfig.I searched in the docs and the equivalent should be in debian /etc/default/locale but it didn't work.I have checked and the EBCDIC support is present under /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/
