Comment (by ken):

 Re item 5, man : apparently, current versions of man-db ''expect'' man
 pages to be in UTF-8, and will convert them if they detect a legacy
 encoding.  Also, man is now pretty much out on its own in using the
 obsolete catgets, so most packages will not need the message files to be
 recoded.  Apparently, it could be worth looking at current ubuntu and
 debian - apparently the non-English man pages there are converted to
 UTF-8.
