+1 from me then. I don't like to comment too much because I don't feel I Contribute enough for my opinion to matter, but as a user, removing UTF-8 at this point just seems like a regression. I understand some people just HATE to change packages (which is why the Uproar is over man-db... frankly shouldn't any complaints be levelled at The complex ncurses instructions? But ncurses is still ncurses so no complaints... I bet you if these complex ncurses instructions were changed to simple "ncurses-db" instructions, THEN people would complain :) How about just a "I don't wanna use man-db" hint, with maybe a link and a warning on the man-db page.
