Say what? If policy says to do something, and a package does
not do it, it is buggy. Just setting Standards-Version to 0.0.1 does
not make packages immune from the dictates of policy.
Standards-version is only useful to help the next uploader to
figure out how many changes maybe needed to make the package policy
compliant (by looking at the upgrade checklist).
Junichi> iconv -f iso-8859-15 -t utf-8 < ChangeLog > debian/ChangeLog-upstream
This looks like a good idea.
