Re: Bug#755001: Avoiding gender-specific language



Hello,

This manual doesn't seem to be linked anywhere, it's probably obsolete 
(Debian now defaults to UTF-8 which has support for the Euro symbol) and 
has no package where I could reassign this bug to. Closing, but CC to 
debian-doc so this report is not completely "lost".

Kind regards,
Andrei -- looking after bugs filed against unknown packages
