#1036521: pygopherd: reproducible-builds: Garbled pygopherd.txt /bin/sh -> dash

...

pygopherd (3.0.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Build pygopherd.txt with bash. Closes: #1036521.

...

The first attached patch fixes this by adjusting the upstream Makefile
to explicitly call groff with bash.

And... for good measure, a second patch switches to using utf8; this is
2023 after all!

It looks like the issue was partially fixed, but there may be issues
resulting from generating ascii text rather than UTF-8, at least, back
when I filed the bug that seemed to be important enough to include as a
patch, though that was long enough ago that it is not fresh in my
mind...
