Quoting Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt (he@debian.org): (in d-d-a) > * UTF-8 debian/changelog and debian/control > > Only 40 packages still use obsolete charsets in their changelog or > control files.

I started yesterday to NMU such packages, beginning with those that have wrongly encoded debian/control files (and most often *also* a wrongly encoded debian/changelog and *even* debian/copyright). The 9 packages with bad debian/control files have been fixed: doc-linux-html-pt doc-linux-text-pt elmo fcmp glade-perl libroxen-linkif libroxen-mail libroxen-presentit pyca All of them already had bugs filed for this, some for more than 2 years. Packages with incorrect debian/changelog are likely to follow with a little more interaction with maintainers as bugs have not been filed for all of them yet. PS: most of these packages are more or less abandoned if one has a look at the various trivial warnings that lintian spits out (outdated standards, outdated debhelper compatibility level, wrong use of build-depends-indep, etc.)
