Package: openvpn
Version: 1.99+2.rc12-1
Severity: minor

I recently switched to UTF-8 character handling. Now, when searching for
an extended cmd line option in openvpn(8), like --dev-type, using e.g. "/" 
in less as a man pager, I only find the phrase in the SYNOPSIS section.
Later the hyphen between the words is no longer matched by the pattern.

That makes it cumbersome to look up the meaning of a particular option.

After suspecting a general problem with man-db, less or groff I could not find
a single other man pages showing the same problem. So I'm reporting it here.
I have no idea how to fix it, though.

By the way: I like your package a lot! Thanks.
