I share the discomfort in your previous message with using the UTF-8 BOM. I'd have thought that a better approach here would be to fix this at the HTTP layer: https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/upgrading-checklist.txt (and other text files here) should return "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8", not just "Content-Type: text/plain". -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
