Subject: Avoiding gender-specific language
Package: user
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I was searching for gender-specific language to correct across all the
documentation that is part of DDP
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
grep -r " he " ./* | grep .sgml
grep -r " his " ./* | grep .sgml
grep -r " him " ./* | grep .sgml
and ignored all the files that were included in a language-specific
folder other than english
* What was the outcome of this action?
I found some issues and created the patch attached here.
All the best,
Myriam

Hello,
Thank you for working on this, but unfortunately the Debian User
Reference Manual is considered obsolete and your bug is not even
assigned to an existing package. There is also no package I can think of
to reassign it to so I see no better way than to close it, but CC the
debian-doc list so your report is not completely "lost".
Kind regards,
Andrei -- looking after bugs filed against unknown packages
