We hope that debiandoc-sgml will still work for all languages, but it should rather be tested. Ack. But this is messy task which I do not think I have time to do everything. I am inclined to upload new package with simple Dep. change but it may violate new testing policy. Maybe I should do experimental. Does any one volunteer testing it? If not, I ave no other choice. Time is right for me being a bit reckless on uploading to testing but I need some push from people involved. This is soon going to be announced on d-d-a, but we wanted to give you a warning in advance. I think I need to upload a new version soonish :-) At the same time, I am looking for competent and eager maintainer for debiandoc-sgml. I am not asking much since I am asking someone with a bit better technical skill than me. My maintanance of this was mostly by my social skill. UTF-8 compatibility design impilimitation while maintaining old behavior is big TODO. I have accepted some UTF-8 data which I regret. If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Which document would you suggest for testing - debian-reference? I am inclined to upload new package with simple Dep. change but it may violate new testing policy. Maybe I should do experimental. I'm not aware of any restrictions for uploads to unstable at the moment, except be sensible, please coordinate transitions. But this is not a library transition. At the same time, I am looking for competent and eager maintainer for debiandoc-sgml. I am not asking much since I am asking someone with a bit better technical skill than me. My maintanance of this was mostly by my social skill. Which is important indeed. UTF-8 compatibility design impilimitation while maintaining old behavior is big TODO. I have accepted some UTF-8 data which I regret. I cannot offer to work on debiandoc-sgml's UTF migration, but I think that in general the debian-tex-maint list, including me, will help debugging problems.
