Package: manpages-es
Version: 1.55-4
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

Manpages in the manpages-es package are utf-8 encoded, but groff assumes
latin1 for 'es' locales as input charset, so manpages-es are always
incorrectly displayed. It doesn't mind if you have LANG=es_ES (latin1) or
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, because that only changes the output charset in groff.

I've patched groff to change the input charset if 'es' and utf-8 are
detected, but that doesn't fix the problem if you don't use utf-8.

I think the best solution is to encode all manpages-es manpages in latin1.
Doing it with iconv is easy.
