After some testing done by me and sergej (our Russian TU)
we've come to conclusion that nroff (or groff) doesn't work well for
Cyrillic UTF-8 characters.
See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7477#comment24205
But it doesn't seem that new groff and man packages don't make it
worse (special NROFF in man.conf was required before anyway).
So it's a sign-off from me.
