The problem with the sort description was that I was running emacs
remotely inside screen. When I copied paste that sentence, it came
with the character that emacs uses to show whitespace.

I did use lintian with:
lintian --pedantic -i -I -E --show-overrides \
../libjlargearrays-java_1.6-1_source.changes
but all it complained about was not using gpg signature for the watch
file. I guess the lintian checks are different on sid (I'm running
stretch)?
I will fix those issues. Should I then use debian.mentors again? On
the perl team, changing the distribution to unstable moves them to
"Ready for Upload" queue in the team PET and that's how one would
request review and upload.
