I think that reencoding files that carry over the encoding information
(info, texinfo, tex and xml for example) is wrong. It is better to let
upstream do whatever they want. Same for examples of code, better leave
the encoding preferred by upstream.

For NEWS/Changelog, other text files in %doc and also man pages that are
not installed in a non utf8 locale, I agree that converting to UTF-8 is 
better.
