This is in the debian/login.defs file, and was replaced at least before
bionic with a proper ascii ', so I'm targeting this to xenial.

Title:
  /etc/login.defs contains a non-ASCII character

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in shadow source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS

  2) Package: login 1:4.2-3.1ubuntu5.4 amd64 from xenial-updates/main

  3) After installing this package, I expect /etc/login.defs to contain
  only ASCII characters.

  4) Instead, /etc/login.defs contains an Acute Accent (Unicode U+00B4)

  This causes a problem in SaltStack:
  https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/55695

  SaltStack does recognize that they should do a better job at loading
  this file and is planning on fixing its problem. But I still question
  this: Should we expect /etc/login.defs to contain ASCII characters
  only?
