Public bug reported: When issuing the command "apt-cache show nedit", the package description text says, in part, "Because of its mature age, NEdit does not support UTF-8 text files, nor will that be implemented."
However, the actual state of things as of April 2026 appears to be somewhat more nuanced/complicated, per a report on the upstream tracker at https://sourceforge.net/p/nedit/feature-requests/135/. May I suggest amending this text to remove "nor will be implemented"?
