Comment:

 Manual pages are expected to be in UTF-8 only if they are in the directory
 of the form /usr/share/man/*.UTF_8/man*/. The only news here is that this
 directory is searched even in non-UTF-8 locales.

 So man-db's manual pages should be either converted to non-UTF-8, or moved
 to the directories ending in "UTF-8". The table has to be re-synchronized
 with src/encodings.c.

 OTOH, since the editors have such difficulty testing the functionality
 themselves, wouldn't it be better to drop UTF-8 from the book? My work
 clearly didn't have any educational effect.
