Hey So i took some time to investigate this. Here are my findings:

I tried it with many files and it always fails. With the fix i did it wasn't failing anymore. However on current master i can't reproduce the debsources bug since Reiner only touched the string conversion and not the bytes one. I am not sure if it is possible to reach the str(r, 'utf-8'). I can't seem to be able to do this but i haven't spend much time on it. Probably now python2/python3 is restored for good. Cheers, Orestis
