Bug#262592: exim4-base: Man pages render hypens incorrectly in UTF-8 locales

[Sam Morris]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: normal

It is impossible to search for dashes in exim4's man pages under a UTF-8
locale. This is annoying because one cannot quickly look up a command
line flag by searching for it.

>From groff-base's README.Debian:

> If you're using a UTF-8 locale and are having problems searching for
> dashes in man pages such as those in command-line options, this may be
> because the man page uses "-" rather than "\-" to represent them, so they
> get rendered as a Unicode hyphen which isn't the one you can type
> conveniently on your keyboard.
