Bug Description

A file from this package seems to have a wrong charset, I have a weird display using man.

A file from this package seems to have a wrong charset, I have a weird display using man.

man update-rc.d
(...)
Quand des fichiers /etc/rcrunlevel.d/[SK]??name existent déjÃ, update-
       rc.d ne fait rien. C’est ainsi pour que l’administrateur système
       puisse réarranger les liens -- à condition qu’il en reste au moins un
       -- sans que sa configuration ne soit réécrite.
(...)

With others french manpages no problem :
man cupsd:
(...)
Si aucune option n’est
       spécifiée dans la ligne de commande, alors le fichier de configuration
       par défaut (habituellement /etc/cups/cupsd.conf) sera utilisé.
(...)

update-rc.d is utf-8 encoded, unlikely the others files :

find /usr/share/man/fr/ -type f -exec file -iz '{}' \;|awk ' /charset=iso-8859/ { print $1" "$3}'
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/dpkg-preconfigure.8.gz: charset=iso-8859-1
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/dpkg-reconfigure.8.gz: charset=iso-8859-1
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/savelog.8.gz: charset=iso-8859-1
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/dpkg-split.8.gz: charset=iso-8859-1
(...)

find /usr/share/man/fr/ -type f -exec file -iz '{}' \;|awk ' /charset=utf-8/ { print $1" "$3}'
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/update-rc.d.8.gz: charset=utf-8
