Honestly, I can not explain. I see © in the source and single
character copyright mark in installed text too. Maintainer may have had
different conversion catalog or Ardo changed conversion table since then.
I had testing environment and I just upgrading to unstable for
debiandoc-sgml. Still I get (C) even for policy source. (Well, current
policy was FTBFS in my system when I did a very quick check to rebuild.)
I have not checked with chroot condition for woody or potato. But this
situation seems really build environment issue.
(ISO-8859-1 is my mailer) txt.gz
debian-policy_3.1.1.1.deb (C)
debian-policy_3.5.6.1_all.deb ©
debian-policy_3.5.8.0_all.deb © 15 Nov 2002
