Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.8.18
Severity: important
When running
```
gbp import-orig --uscan --pristine-tar
```
on the gmsh package, gbp bails out with the error message
```
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 399:
ordinal not in range(128)
```
referring to
```
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gbp/deb/changelog.py", line 100,
in _run_parsechangelog
(stdout, stderr) = cmd.communicate(self._contents.encode())
```
This is because of the non-ascii character "ö".
