Bonaccorso and Gregor Hermann! (First half of #682631)
* auto.py: Do not call decode() with an "errors" keyword, as this does not
yet work with Python 2.6. Thanks Gregor Hermann! (Closes: #682631)

Title:
manpage not recognized if doesn't start with ".TH "
Status in “python-distutils-extra” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I have a manpage that starts with a "Hey, EMACS:" line [0], which is
how the example files is created when following the Debian new
maintainer's guide.
distutils-extra considers a file that matched '*.[0123456789]' as a
valid man page only if it starts with the string ".TH " [1]. This
results in that manpage to not be automatically recognized, and has 2
consequences:
- You need to add a line in MANIFEST.in with "include doc/*"
- The file appears in the list printed after "WARNING: the following files
are not recognized by DistUtilsExtra.auto" (even though the file is covered by
MANIFEST.in, just reported bug 893335)
Maybe the check to see if the file is a valid manpage should do something
like this:
if line.startswith('.TH ') or line.startswith('.\"'):
