Probably so.

If you are referring to manifest attribute names, these must be ASCII and are
typically code words so a locale-independent conversion is appropriate (which
is where I originally found about the Turkish problem BTW). For attribute
values (probably including section names after "Name: "), it is supposed to be
UTF-8 in general though in fact in all JDKs to date this is broken in
java.util.jar.* and only ASCII characters are accepted. Hopefully no one is
lowercasing values anyway.
