Package: debhelper
Version: 4.2.30
Severity: minor

Hi,

the dh_installmime man page contains "mimeâsupport and sharedâmimeâinfo"
with some unicode dash characters. This should be real dashes so that
cut&paste properly works with a unicode charset.

>From asking on debian-devel, the solution is:

Thanks, Eric
