For Mandriva (was Mandrakelinux), Pablo has an old post to this list:
http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2004-10/msg00013.html
Basically, since Mandrake 10.0, if only 1 language is chosen then people
have the choice of legacy encoding or UTF-8; if multiple incompatible
languages are chosen then always UTF-8.
Indeed Pablo is the best person to get the answer, but he's not around
for some time.
