Yuck. I will fix that.

Done. (The new tarball is 35k vs. the 140K of the other -2 tarball.)

Okay. I will try and get some native speakers involved - I live in
Sweden so that should not be so hard. :)

Doing iconv --from-code=ASCII --to-code=UTF-8 debian/copyright
produces this error on my machine: "iconv: illegal input sequence at
position 216". This is roughly at the spot where the Swedish letters
begin. Transiliterating the Swedish to English, then doing iconv
works however, and this is what is in the latest .deb. (-3)
