Bug#424020: libtk-pod-perl: Pod/Text.pm diffs seems to be wrong

[Slaven Rezic]

Package: libtk-pod-perl
Version: 0.9932-5
Severity: minor

It seems that the debian version includes a patch to Pod/Text.pm, which
changes the umlauts there to some nroff (?) notation, e.g.

-=item auml: E<auml> ä,
+=item auml: E<auml> \[:a],

I don't see what the purpose of this change. tkpod may display the
original Pod correctly. My version of perldoc changes the umlaut to ae
in the original version; with the change "\[:a]" is displayed literally.
