There's no need to change the behaviour of vt-is-UTF8; it makes perfect sense given the command name. It's just the documentation that's wrong.
I've forwarded this bug to Debian as http://bugs.debian.org/375693. -- man page for vt-is-UTF8 --quiet is wrong https://launchpad.net/bugs/49031 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
