Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

     Checking for defects with

[test-][g|n]roff -mandoc -t -K utf8 -ww -b -z <man page>

  [test-groff is a script in the repository for "groff"]

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Hello,

thanks for the patch.

Could you please patch the source file (the po4a script itself) rather than the
generated groff file?

Thanks in advance,
Mt
