This is more specific, but less hopeful:
* UTF-8 debian/changelog and debian/control
Advocate: Russ Allbery
Release-Team-Contact: ??
Description: Fix all remaining debian/changelog and debian/control
files which don't use UTF-8. These are easily found by lintian via
debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding and
debian-control-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding.
Bug-Tag: utf8-control
State: confirmed
<URL:http://release.debian.org/lenny-goals.txt>
No other mention of UTF-8. It seems, then, that we'll have to wait
until after lenny for the "utf8-man" (or, even better, "utf8") bug
tag.
