Hello everybody,

note that in the meantime, another section introduced a similar definition of
the system PATH.

      <sect id="filenames">
        <heading>File names</heading>

        <p>
          The name of the files installed by binary packages in the system PATH
          (namely <tt>/bin</tt>, <tt>/sbin</tt>, <tt>/usr/bin</tt>,
          <tt>/usr/sbin</tt> and <tt>/usr/games</tt>) must be encoded in
          ASCII.
        </p>

While I have no objections on applying this bugs report's patch, it would be
even better to have a unique definition in the Policy. 

Cheers,
