Package: dos2unix
Version: 7.5.1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: bugs.debian....@wongs.net

Dear Maintainer,

The dos2unix man page claims that the default mode is "ASCII" and that
in ASCII mode only line endings will be changed. This is no longer
true. In the default mode, UTF-16 is converted to UTF-8 and the BOM is
removed.

I do not know if this is still considered an "ASCII" mode or if the
default is some new UTF-8 mode. Please consider updating the
documentation to match the current behavior.

Thanks!
