Package: dpkg-dev-el
Version: 24.10-1
Severity: wishlist
It'd be nice if emacs defaulted to utf-8 for debian changelog files,
perhaps with this in 50dpkg-dev-el.el,
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "/changelog\\.Debian\\'" 'utf-8)
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "/debian/changelog\\'" 'utf-8)
Policy (version 3.6.2.1 part C.2.2) recommends utf8, and lintian
(version 1.23.8) gives an error
debian-changelog-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding if it sees
non-utf8.
Lintian has an error for the control file likewise,
debian-control-file-uses-obsolete-national-encoding, so maybe that
should similarly default to utf8 (though I don't spot a mention in
policy about that).
