Thanks for working on this. However, I am not sure that reverting that commit is the right way to solve the issue. grep is less and less tolerant against invalid unicode characters. Maybe are there invalid characters in the debian/* files where uploaders.mk get the info to fill the Uploaders field? What package were you trying to build? I would like to collect more info to forward the bug to upstream. Cheers, Santiago
