Hello,

The following manpages in your package appear to be UTF-8 encoded:

/usr/share/man/man1/mb2md.1.gz

According to Colin Watson, "With some exceptions for Far Eastern
languages, manual pages should not at present be encoded using UTF-8.
As such, it's reasonable to file bugs against packages attempting to
use UTF-8 where it is not yet supported."

etch supports utf8 by default

Not (according to Colin) in man pages, except in certain locales. Viewing a UTF-8 encoded man page with man (using less as the pager) in a UTF-8 locale, in xterm, does not work: the UTF-8 characters are not output correctly. For example, with LANG=en_GB.UTF-8.

If I use an 8-bit locale, the output is correct, but that's not exactly "supporting UTF-8"!
