Yeah, apologies, I think I misunderstood your message and what you meant
by not looking at UTF-8 validity in Lintian. I see that what you're
trying to do is get the data deep enough into Lintian so that you can
issue appropriate tags, and the problem is with the data representation in
advance of tag processing, for which this isn't super-relevant.
