Package: debhelper Version: 7.3.12 Severity: minor Tags: l10n patch Hello,
The current translated manpages (e.g. the French translation of dh_install) are transliterated to avoid non ASCII characters (e.g. "élément" becomes "element"). The attached patch fixes this. Since some of the early Perl 5.10 version (5.10.0-16?), pod2man should be called with the --utf8 option to correctly generate UTF-8 manpages. po4a 0.36.1 would be recommended to generate POD files with the correct POD =encoding header. Best Regards, -- Nekral
