NOTE:
Luit is used to translate character set and solve the "garbled text"
problem met when visit east Asian BBS. On Debian 11, the default luit(1.1.1)
installed as a part of x11-utils is too old, may cause unexpected issues
like segmentation fault. Build and install from luit 2.0 source. On
Debian 12, the default luit installed is v2.0, so no need to build from
source.
