This is an old patch from 2004.  The problem there was that ©
HTML tag was converted to an 8bit character, which wasn't intended.
The patch fixed this issue in 2004 and I have to admit, that I didn't

See https://bugs.debian.org/203697 for the complete discussion...

So it may no longer be necessary, at least on your system :-)

No, never tried that.  I usually only write on debian/ subtree...
