Hi,
and if you use C<> or F<> around the package names, doesn't it solve the problem? I say this because the options (-n, --noscripts) have the correct dashes, and it would make sense to _not_ beautify code and filenames.

PS: else, feel of course free to forward the bug to the perl team.

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:
This is a bug in the manpages themselves. The unformatted source should have - for hyphenating normal prose, as in "happy-go-lucky", and \- to denote the minus signs used as characters on the command line and other such places.
I don't know of any way to do that with man pages that are generated from POD documentation, as are all the man pages in debhelper. As far as I can see, this is a bug in perl.
