I can't see where you could possibly go wrong. I believe your steps are correct. > +AL8-Should I open a bug against debian-policy? Maybe not a bug, but you should definitely report this behaviour on the debian-policy mailing-list. My opinion would be that the control file should also be switched to UTF-8. If you could try that, and if the uploader stops reporting that as an NMU, then you should suggest policy to be changed to document that fact. Anyway, trust debian-policy, not me, as I don't have any diacritics in *my* name :-) Roland. -- Roland Mas If you spit in the air, it lands in your face. -- Tevye, in Fiddler on the roof -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
