Yes, by using a locale that sets the encoding to UTF-8. But I assume
you didn't mean that but would prefer a command line option. No,
there is none.
Yeah, that would be better. We're intentionally using LANG=C to avoid
localisation issues with the output; obviously we can't assume that random
Lintian users have any of the en_* locales installed so we can't force one
of those either.
Colin Watson added the explicit UTF-8 encoding to avoid recoding localised
manpages to ASCII and producing bogus warnings in the process; as he has
both man-db and lintian hats I'm hoping he might have a cunning idea as to
how to fix this.
