+    <para>LFS expects that manual pages are in the language-specific (usually
+    8-bit) encoding, as specified on <ulink
+    url="&lfs-root;/chapter06/man-db.html"/>. However, some packages install
+    translated manual pages in UTF-8 encoding (e.g., Shadow, already dealt
+    with), or manual pages in languages not in the table. Not all BLFS packages
+    have been audited for conformance with the requirements put in LFS. If you
+    find a manual page installed by any of BLFS packages that is obviously in
+    the wrong encoding, please remove or convert it as needed, and report this
+    to BLFS team as a bug.</para>
