This bug also appeared when checking the newly-uploaded package utfcheck-1.2-1, which causes the package to look like it fails piuparts testing:
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/utfcheck_1.2-1.log But piuparts passed on the previous version, utfcheck-1.1-2, without that error. That version entered unstable on 2018-08-11. Thanks, Paul Hardy
