This was overkill. The underlying issue was that the list's
'description' attribute was encoded in a character set which was not
that of the list's preferred language.

This probably came about because of the Debian/Ubuntu package's blanket
recoding of all languages to UTF-8 without regard to strings in list
attributes. See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1462755>,
particularly comment #6 and the threads referenced there, for more about
this.
