Thank you for the hints.

Yes, that wasn't too clever after all. It was a try to track down the
problem; the first place where I got something unusual when I switched
to utf-8 was the output of dpkg-parsechangelog. Unfortunately that
wasn't connected with the problem at all - but I thought it was, since
dpkg-parsechangelog is where gpg gets my name from.
