Package: colorgcc
Severity: important
Tags: patch

One of the release goals for Lenny [1] is to make sure that debian/control and
debian/copyright are encoded in UTF-8 rather than in local encodings.

According to the lintian checks at [2] and [3], your package does not comply
with this goal yet, and uses a different encoding for debian/changelog
To fix this, simply filter the file through "iconv -f original_encoding -t
utf8". Patch attached.

Best regards,
Christian.
