Another possibility (because it won't make the maintainer UTF-8, with all kind of troubles thereof) is to make sure the 'Changed-By' (in .changes) is _not_ UTF-8. By default, it's taken from the most recent signature in the changelog, but that can be overridden. No script other than the dpkg-genchanges script will really look into the changelog, so it's possible to contain UTF8 usage withing the changelog only. This is the -e option to dpkg-genchanges, which can also be given (and will then passed on) to dpkg-buildpackage, and if you use debuild, you can no doubt also give that option to debuild (but didn't check my last assumption). --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
