Package: release-notes
Severity: minor

There is an error in the release-notes.dbk source:

$ LC_ALL=C iconv -f utf8 -t latin1 <release-notes.dbk >/tmp/error
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 3765

The last lines of the generated output are:

(...)
    <author>
      <firstname>Eddy</firstname>
      <surname>Petri
EOF

It seems Eddy's surname is not properly encoded in UTF-8. I'm not sure which is
the correct replacement for it, however.

Regards

Javier
