Possibly related: The link provided to view the watch file
<URL:http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/wwiz_detail.php?id=11448238&type=watch>
leads to content served as UTF-8 but apparently not interpreting its
source correctly:

=====

The package's watch file is encoded as UTF-8, so apparently something
is getting the encoding wrong somewhere along the line to producing
the codument at that URL.
