Hello Chris,

Please do not inflate bug severity.

This is not a bug in the Debian package since it only provide the client side.
It would be pointless to remove it from testing due to this.

The popcon server neer promised that all-popcon-results.txt.gz was a
valid UTF8 file. Software must not assume that.

Please reassign to python-popcon.

Cheers,
