The problem starts right there.  Even inside uxterm, when I run 'debchange', it
fetches my name from some place and decides that there is a mismatch between the
encodings:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ export [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd Projects/zirba-0.1/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Projects/zirba-0.1$ debchange 
debchange warning: passwd full name field for uid 1000
is not UTF-8 encoded; ignoring
utf8 "\xC9" does not map to Unicode at /usr/bin/debchange line 642, <S> chunk 6.

debchange: Changelog unmodified; exiting.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Projects/zirba-0.1$

Good to know.  Thanks.
