Bug#859273: release-notes: generate valid pdf files for languages which don't support pdf

[Holger Wansing <linux@wansing-online.de>]

Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Hi,

Currently the pdf version of the release-notes is not available for
Japanese and Polish. However, there are pdf files in the table at
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/releasenotes, like
https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes.ja.pdf.

But this file is not a valid pdf file, it's a text file renamed to .pdf
which leads to errors when trying to view it.
People might think, they did something wrong or the file got corrupted
on download or ...

So I have a patch attached, which generates valid pdf files saying
something like
"PDF version of the release-notes not available for this language"
in a simple one-liner, stolen from
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/scripts/manual-daily/,
thanks to Frans Pop.



So long
Holger
