I was getting a bit confused looking at the dyne.org site.

Is there a mailing list or something similar for the TBT software?

I ws going to ask this:

It works really beautifully, except for one thing which bothers me - and
that is, that it doesn't render special characters (Danish characters
like æ, ø and å, e.g.) properly.

They come out Unicode'y, like this: æ å å

The characters are encoded as numbers, so modifying the headers won't
help. Perhaps this problem was already solved?

I used gNewSense for six months last year and found it to be really
excellent distro with a nice community around it. I had to abandon it
because of some hardware compatility issues, but look forward to return
to it when I hopefully get around to setting up our recycled desktop
computer. I think it would be the ideal distro to base d:b on, so heads
up for that :-)
