The effects will be very obvious in a UTF-8 terminal, where you'll see Unicode hyphens instead of the ASCII HYPHEN-MINUS character and thus have problems cutting-and-pasting from man pages. (You can use the workaround in /usr/share/doc/groff/README.Debian locally; upstream disapproves of this being the default, though, and I tend to agree.)
