There's no "before I will index *any* of them" here, is there?

"Are" does mean "now".  Yes, Lars added index entries, and I moved
them to their correct places.

Your bug report was about these:

  `no-conversion', `raw-text', `emacs-internal',
  `iso-latin-1-unix', `iso-latin-1-dos', `iso-latin-1-mac',
  `undecided-unix', `undecided-dos', `undecided-mac'

Of these, the iso-latin-1-* are not described in the manual, and thus
have no index entries.  All the others are indexed in the repository.

You are welcome.
