Thanks. This means we can remove podlators-perl from lenny.
Here's one more proposed change; please ack/nack.
I'll try to shut up and upload after this :)
* Make /usr/bin/perldoc invoke pod2man with the "--utf8" option if it
detects a new enough Pod::Man version. (Closes: #492037)
[rt.cpan.org #39000], no comment from upstream yet.

The Pod::Man version check is redundant as both Pod::Man and Pod::Perldoc
are in perl-modules, but it doesn't hurt much and makes this survive an
installation that has a locally installed older Pod::Man somewhere.
Although we can't make pod2man default to --utf8 (because it's conceivable
that the output generated on Debian will be used on non-Debian platforms
whose *roff can't handle it), I think there's no problem in doing that
for perldoc where the output is only intended for local consumption.
