The `N' code character already _gives_ the numeric value. The documentation of `interactive' says that N can return the raw prefix arg, which is not necessarily numeric. However, I checked the code in callint.c, and `N' actually returns the numeric prefix argument, if there is a prefix. So your fix to indent.el is correct, but we have uncovered a different bug. Since the Lisp manual agrees with the code, I will fix the doc string of `interactive'.
