(Ubuntu 6.06) and I can even see the Chinese characters in my console
in Ubuntu when I load the file in emacs. So what packages do I need to
install in Debian etch which will alow me view (and thus correctly
download and save) Chinese webpages? I do not want X fonts since the
server is only accessible via ssh and I don't run X on it.

It can be done with framebuffer consoles. The only time I have seen
people using framebuffer consoles are debian-installer in Asian
languages. (fbiterm, jfbterm, zhcon)

Quite honestly, your time is better spent to set up simple X setup with
UTF-8 terminal and international fonts.

If you have special needs such as Braille for blind person, I do not
know the answer. (I do not even know how to convert text from normal
chinese to Braille friendly phonetic format.)
