First of all, I would not use debiandoc for this. Nor for anything else. It's kinda deprecated now, and most debian documentations now come in docbook xml (at least the new debian installer manual does). Then, you must be aware that your "quest", as you say, is not an easy one. There is good chances that the docbk tool chain works with utf8, but I'm far less optimistic about the right-to-left thing. An argument in this direction is: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual it's translated to japaneese (so, utf8 works), but not to any R2L language. That's not a definitive proof, just a bad sign :-/ Sorry for not being able to help any further, Mt.
