retitle 175064 Debian policy documents should use DocBook XML in UTF-8
thanks

Even with the current SGML source, UTF-8 transition is possible.  But we
are in deep freeze and I am reluctant to push even a simple makefile
change and iconv conversion.  The recent debiandoc-sgml package support
UTF-8 even under lenny.

If you are uploading new version for squeeze and would like to know the
diff, I may be able to make it.

But .... why just UTF-8.  XML is the way :-)

I totally forgot about this bug and I was surprised to see this is still
using SGML.

I have tested with maint-guide that debiandoc2xml can be used to convert
SGML to XML with minimal manual intervention if I use the bug fix
version in git repo. (#430575: http://bugs.debian.org/430575 needs to be
fixed.)

I will be testing conversion on local branch ....  just FYI.
