Hm, I could check this. However, what made me look at the output of
dpkg-parsechangelog was that signing failed because the secret key for
this strange guy (Frank KÃ?ster) couldn't be found...

Is the terminal involved at all? Isn't dpkg-buildpackage handing what it
got from dpkg-buildpackge directly to gpg?

How could I find out which program is responsible for that? 

[installing mlterm]

No, it's the terminal, at least in part. In mlterm with LANG and LC_ALL
set to de_DE.UTF-8 I get all the umlauts shown wrongly, but I can sign
(with only LANG at UTF, umlauts are correct but I can't sign).

So forget this from here. I think that's nothing for
debian-mentors. Anyway, thank you very much for pointing me to the
solution. 

Bye, Frank
