Any chance you can do the diff against master git branch not against 0.8.6?

Oh sure, sorry about that; I thought 0.8.6 was fresh enough but git master is not where it was released from.

Script to check improper escaping of hyphens in man pages

This is the Perl regexp extracted from our .deb lint (lintian) as a standalone test; run as:
./check-hyphens.pl utils/*.1

you should get something like:
Improper escaping on line 21
Improper escaping on line 22
Improper escaping on line 32
...
Comment 5 Albert Astals Cid 2008-08-20 13:10:33 UTC 
Will be fixed in poppler 0.9.0
