Yes, I've just noticed who made the most recent bsdmainutils upload;
mea culpa. :-) In any case, I have to admit I'm not sure exactly
which part of the lintian -> man -> col chain is at fault here.

I think the call in lintian is as it asks man to produce UTF-8
without telling col to accept UTF-8.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance here, but can lintian actually tell col to do that as part of the man call?

Hmm, which of the bug reports do we use for discussion? :-)

I have a slight preference for using this report, as we've already started a discussion here and I automatically get any mail sent to it, but I'm open to using either.

Cheers,

Adam
