recode manual pages to UTF-8
I uploaded man-db 2.5.1-1 to incoming this morning, so I think we can now proceed with the plan we discussed a while back: http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2007/10/msg00063.html I've attached a patch against git HEAD that recodes all manual pages to UTF-8 on installation. I've tested this with debconf and it seems to be doing the right thing. I suspect a small number of packages that have inconsistently-encoded manual pages will fail to build as a result of this, but I believe that these are rather few and I contend that they were buggy anyway (as man would fail to display those pages). The reason for the slightly baroque installation method (install file, man --recode to .new, mv back) is that this allows man to guess the encoding based on the installation directory. Note that the original (non-.UTF-8) installation directories are retained, per the latest discussion in #440420.
