Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
lintian should check
* if debian/{changelog,control} are encoded as UTF-8 if
Standards-Version is >= 3.8.1, and
* if debian/copyright is encoded as UTF-8 if Standards-Version is >=
3.9.4.
I haven't checked if it already does that, but on
https://lintian.debian.org/tags-all.html there is only one tag listed
which contains "utf" in its name, so I assume that no such check yet
exists.
(I'm also willing to write that test. The idea for that test just came
during breakfast when reading pabs' Misc Developer News about
check-all-the-things and I needed to dump it somewhere quickly. The BTS
seems the best place for that. :-)

Ah, thanks. Closing then. I should have looked for "encoding", too.
