By definition, I fixed all the known issues, but I'm not confident with corner
cases that are less tested. I mean that I don't know where the remaining issue
will come from.

Checking on the code about your question, if the charset=??? line does not
match the provided charset, the file is re-read with the charset from the file
(with a warning). That should be OK (and I never heard of issues here).

We have some issues when the msgid contain UTF chars, but they are related to
gettext, not po4a itself. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?65104

In addition, I tried to draft the information I'll add to the README.Debian
here: https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/blob/master/NEWS#L14

Your advice about it is very welcome, please.
