Yes, a very simple one: mv -i release-notes.ru.sgml release-notes.ru.sgml.backup iconv -f UTF-8 -t KOI8-R release-notes.ru.sgml.backup > release-notes.ru.sgml ru_RU.KOI8-R is the only Russian locale supported by debiandoc-sgml. See ls /usr/share/perl5/DebianDoc_SGML/Locale/ It should be trivial to support UTF-8 for text and HTML (either by adding new locale files such as ru_RU.UTF-8 or by calling iconv from debiandoc-sgml tools) but it's more complicated for other formats.
