retitle 175064 Debian policy documents should use DocBook XML in UTF-8 thanks
Even with the current SGML source, UTF-8 transition is possible. But we are in deep freeze and I am reluctant to push even a simple makefile change and iconv conversion. The recent debiandoc-sgml package support UTF-8 even under lenny. If you are uploading new version for squeeze and would like to know the diff, I may be able to make it. But .... why just UTF-8. XML is the way :-) I totally forgot about this bug and I was surprised to see this is still using SGML. I have tested with maint-guide that debiandoc2xml can be used to convert SGML to XML with minimal manual intervention if I use the bug fix version in git repo. (#430575: http://bugs.debian.org/430575 needs to be fixed.) I will be testing conversion on local branch .... just FYI.
