Hi,

When using debchange on a host where my uid has an empty gecos field (that 
is, /etc/passwd contains this):
thijs:x:1000:1000::/home/thijs:/bin/bash

I get the following warning:

| dch warning: passwd full name field for uid 1000
| is not UTF-8 encoded; ignoring
| dch: Did you see that warning?  Press RETURN to continue...

You could argue for or against the empty string being UTF-8 encoded, but I 
guess triggering on an empty gecos wasn't the intention of the warning..


cheers,
Thijs
