Hello,

this was originally reported as <https://bugs.debian.org/1105742>.

find -ls is too conservative in quoting, -ls basically quotes everything
non-ascii instead of looking at LC_CTYPE


ametzler@argenau:/tmp/testggf$ locale | grep CTY
LC_CTYPE="de_AT.UTF-8"
ametzler@argenau:/tmp/testggf$ touch Österreich
ametzler@argenau:/tmp/testggf$ find -type f -ls
      175      0 -rw-rw-r--   1 ametzler ametzler        0 Mai 17 13:02
./\303\226sterreich
ametzler@argenau:/tmp/testggf$ /bin/ls -l
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ametzler ametzler 0 17. Mai 13:02 Österreich
