UTF-8 for debian/control

[Roland Stigge <stigge@antcom.de>]

Hi,

when feeding the data from the Sources file into a script that
implicitly checks for UTF-8 consistency (a Python lib), the following
packages happen to include byte sequences that are no valid UTF-8:

cadubi
fcmp
glade-perl
myspell-sv
rat

all of them have another encoding in the Maintainer field. I'm thinking
about "bugging" the Maintainers to change it to UTF-8. Any opposition?

Time for reviewing
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/12/msg00521.html and a
statement in Policy about that (for consistency with changelogs that are
already handled that way)?

Thanks,

bye,
  Roland
