Package: manpages
Version: 3.44-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man7/units.7.gz
Tags: patch
The units(7) man page uses an ASCII u in place of the actual Greek
letter mu. Since we're in the twenty-first century, with
UTF-8-compatible terminals and terminal emulators, we should use the
actual letter µ instead of an ASCII approximation.
Attached is a patch to do that. It's against the current master of the
Vcs-Git repository.
