Subject: Bug#357141: acl: Ugly output with non-ASCII (eg. UTF-8) filenames

Package: acl
Version: 2.2.23-1

Hi!

The current `getfacl' program uses isprint()/isspace() to decide
wether to print a byte of a given username verbatim or to use \nnn
escapes instead.  For UTF-8 locales, this doesn't really make sense.
It would be nice if usernames (or any other given data) would be
printed as-is, or maybe quote the names IFF a given command-line
switch is given (eg. like `ls' does it.)
