yeah that was a typo, but again, ronn does not do locales (at all), so your
changes to remove the usage of %B don't accomplish anything. maybe if I copy
and paste the locale names you will believe me :-)

$ cat debian/coveralls.mkd | LANG=C ronn | grep 2016
.TH "COVERALLS" "1" "September 2016" "" ""
$ cat debian/coveralls.mkd | LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 ronn | grep 2016
.TH "COVERALLS" "1" "September 2016" "" ""
$ cat debian/coveralls.mkd | LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ronn | grep 2016
.TH "COVERALLS" "1" "September 2016" "" ""
