[Reproducible-builds] Bug#791673: doc-debian: please make .txt files UTF-8 independently of the locale of the build system

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: doc-debian
Version: 6.3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

currently, lynx produces text output on the basis of the locale.  this
means that as the locale differs, the generated .txt files change.
Please see:

https://reproducible.debian.net/dbd/unstable/amd64/doc-debian_6.3.debbindiff.html

I believe the attached patch should resolve the problem.
