Thanks.
I've submitted a patch to lintian to avoid the "can't break line" or
"cannot adjust line" warnings on Japanese patches

I have another question regarding Japanese manpages.
The rpm.8 Japanese translation is encoded in UTF-8. I don't think it is
correct (man expects an page encoded in EUC-JP). Can anybody check if the
page is displayed correctly?

Thanks in advance,
