Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.15
Severity: normal

It is sad but true, the locale settings can have an influence on the output
of info files due to a bug in makeinfo; see #113988.  I stumbled over this
when I built emacs-snapshot from source and later wondered why there were
bits of German in the Emacs Lisp Manual.  Therefore I suggest not to
preserve the LANG and LC_* variables by default until #113988 is resolved.
