Not sure this is the right thing to do. Our LDAP backend insures we should get mostly utf8 stuff as that's what supposedly is only allowed. But we also have the proxy backend which means arbitrary nss plugins can be plugged in. Those could be sourcing data from old databases where code pages where used instead of utf-8. Especially popular in Asiam conuntries where even the first Unicode drafts were not good enough. I would be more comfortable with a patch that makes dbus not validate the input and an option (possibly enabled by default) for us to do utf-8 validation, but that can be set to not do any validation so that systems that need user names in non-utf8 can have it (how we store non-utf8 names in sysdb is something we need to consider then).
