[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#745650: changelog: Do not use UTF-8 punctuation marks but the ASCII ones

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Package: init-system-helpers
Version: 1.18
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

   When reading the changelog file with character map ISO-8859-1, three
bytes are sometimes shown instead of one.  Using non-letter characters
with the UTF-8 encoding is a misuse of it.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  I expect simple punctuation marks (for example apostrophe, quotation
mark and ' - ' (or '--', em-dash)), which is readable by any encoding
that supports the ASCII character set.  (em-dash is usually used
without surrounding space, en-dash with it.)

  That is future proof and clear enough.  This file does not contain
any typesetting commands to prepare it for being printed in a book as a
regular text.

  Patch:
