I think our man-db and groff have been hacked in two ways: 1) to special-case japanese locale (ja_JP.eucJP) and act specially in that case only (using -Tnippon device) 2) to work with utf-8 I seem to remember 1 was the case in potato, or woody, breaking use under ja_JP.utf-8. 2 was on its way, when I checked the last time, but I am not sure. I think Colin Watson should know better about the status...
