Seems reasonable. For this particular issue Python 3.7 will do the ANSI -> UTF-8 coercion itself so this will only be an issue until that lands. In the mean time the simplest solution would seem to be for debhelper to add the necessary locale setting. This should match what some of the packages are doing already.
