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,

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
