So after googling locale problems in connection with iTerm2 I found a solution for Debian:

edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and disallow setting of locales by clients:

AcceptEnv no

it was previously set to: AcceptEnv LANG LC_*

Now bpytop works perfectly, even without the “-lc” and using the mouse works as well without any crashes!
