Ack. But this is messy task which I do not think I have time to do
everything.  I am inclined to upload new package with simple Dep. change
but it may violate new testing policy.  Maybe I should do experimental.
Does any one volunteer testing it?  If not, I ave no other choice.  Time
is right for me being a bit reckless on uploading to testing but I need
some push from people involved.

I think I need to upload a new version soonish :-) 

At the same time, I am looking for competent and eager maintainer for
debiandoc-sgml.  I am not asking much since I am asking someone with a
bit better technical skill than me.  My maintanance of this was mostly
by my social skill.

UTF-8 compatibility design impilimitation while maintaining old behavior
is big TODO.  I have accepted some UTF-8 data which I regret.

If anyone is interested, please let me know.

Osamu
