I discovered that the problem also occur for alphabetic entries when
the first letter is one of the non-ASCII norwegian letters.  The entry
'åndsverkloven' is sorted along the numeric entry.  See example
docbook file with UTF-8 encoding attached.

The same problem do not occur with docbook-xsl, which incorrectly sort
å alongside a in the index. :(

Demonstrate problem with non-alphabetic indexterm entries in dblatex.

The '60 Minutes' entry is placed under an "_" heading, which is rather
strange.  docbook-xsl places it under an 'Symbols' heading, which is
strange too, but a bit better looking than the dblatex approach.
