Package: glade-perl
Version: 0.61-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

glade-perl's debian/control seems to be encoded in ISO-8859-1 with non-ASCII
characters. However, this makes data evaluation over the whole archive
(e.g. Sources file) difficult since it's not possible to automatically
detect encodings. The only compatible way to provide non-ASCII
characters is to encode in UTF-8. The conversion can be done with e.g.:

  $ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 debian/control > debian/control.new
  $ mv debian/control.new debian/control

The same applies to debian/changelog to ensure that the Maintainer field in
both files is the same. See the debian-devel thread at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/11/msg00482.html .

This package is one of the few remaining packages with non-UTF-8 encodings in
the respective files.

bye,
  Roland
