I have no idea.  I can't reproduce this.  Hm.

Do you by any chance have a locale setting?  Lintian is suppose to
sanitize the environment of anything that causes output to change or the
like, but maybe it's missing something.

There's *something* different about your environment than mine, but I'm
not sure what it is.  I built the package in a sid chroot, so it's not
that.  I'm running the latest version of lintian but on testing, which is
another possible difference; if that's it, I can check by running lintian
in a current sid environment this evening from home.
