--- Begin Message ---Package: lintian Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3 Severity: wishlist Hi, lintian should check * if debian/{changelog,control} are encoded as UTF-8 if Standards-Version is >= 3.8.1, and * if debian/copyright is encoded as UTF-8 if Standards-Version is >= 3.9.4. I haven't checked if it already does that, but on https://lintian.debian.org/tags-all.html there is only one tag listed which contains "utf" in its name, so I assume that no such check yet exists. (I'm also willing to write that test. The idea for that test just came during breakfast when reading pabs' Misc Developer News about check-all-the-things and I needed to dump it somewhere quickly. The BTS seems the best place for that. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (110, 'experimental'), (109, 'buildd-unstable'), (109, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.25-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7+b2 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.22+15-1 ii gettext 0.19.3-2 ii hardening-includes 2.7 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.39-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.37-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.24 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.195-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2+b1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1.1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.11-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.20.2-2 ii t1utils 1.38-4 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-3+b1 ii perl 5.20.2-2 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.20.2-2 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.25-5 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.24 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.13-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3 -- no debconf information

I should have looked for "encoding", too.
