UTF-8 is only recommended in the changelog. But since the maintainer name in both changelog and control file should be the same, they need to use the same encoding too. Which means that atleast the maintainer and uploader field in the control file is recomended to be in UTF-8. Also see things like #241333, #208011, #142164 But I think this is good thing anyway, specially since there are so few left.
