Hmm, that's annoying. I did check a few of the lintian errors to make sure the check was correct, but I didn't check all of them. Upon investigating, it seems that lintian checks /usr/share/doc/perl/changelog.gz, and that file indeed has non-utf8 chars at line 331. As this is an upstream changelog, I don't think Liantian should even check that file. I can't find the corresponding code in Lintian that selects which changelog to check, but it indeed seems to be a bug in lintian. I'll look into it later.
