Hi Benoît,
I want to inform you of dblatex Debian BTS report #617842 [1]:
Martin Borgert asks for a change of the dblatex HTML documentation's
encoding from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8:

I have been able to reproduce the annoying output when searching for
dblatex pages within the Debian help system.
When experimenting, I succeeded in getting UTF-8 encoded output just by
using the XHTML instead of the HTML DocBook stylesheets:
perl -pi -e 's{/html/}{/xhtml/}' docs/Makefile
As however the HTML documentation is part of your upstream package, the
change should be applied there.
