While backporting devscripts 2.10.25 onto Etch to get a working debsign
again, I ran into the following:

po4a: Couldn't determine the input document's charset. Please specify it on
the command line. (non-ascii
char at ../scripts/licensecheck.pl:277)

The problem is the utf8 copyright sign in the regexp in
scripts/licensecheck.pl:277. Apparently newer versions of po4a are
better (or just less strict) at determining the script charset; this is
with 0.29-1etch1.
Please update the version of the po4a build-depency or (preferrably)
fix this otherwise.
I suggest using either \N{COPYRIGHT SIGN} or \x{00a9} instead. Note that
the former needs 'use charnames ":full"' to work.
Cheers,
