Hi,

cadubi's debian/control seems to be encoded in ISO-8859-1 with non-ASCII
characters. However, this makes data evaluation over the whole archive
(e.g. Sources file) difficult since it's not possible to automatically
detect encodings. The only compatible way to provide non-ASCII
characters is to encode in UTF-8. The conversion can be done with e.g.:

  $ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 debian/control > debian/control.new
  $ mv debian/control.new debian/control

Also consider the attached patch.

Thanks.

bye,
  Roland
