Package: po4a
Version: 0.67-2

I noticed something with the translated man pages of the LinuxCNC
project.  The non-ascii characters show up as mojobake in the nb manual
pages.  I tracked down a solution in

 >.
By converting the UTF-8 files with  'preconv', 'nroff -man file.9' is
handled properly.

I suspect po4a should do this automatically, but man Locale::Po4a::Man
do not mention preconv.  Perhaps it should?
