Hi, I got this bug report from a Debian user and I agree with him that
escape sequences in plain text HOWTOs are a bad idea. However, I don't
know how these get generated and if this is intended behaviour?

Package: doc-linux-text
Version: 2005.07-1
Severity: normal

Some of the HOWTOS are spread with nasty escape sequences, making them
hard to read. Unfortunately, three just updated HOWTOS are affected:
FBB.gz, LILO.gz and Linux+WinNT.gz.
