[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#638928: /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Build.pm: Use UTF-8 for .changes attachment to log mail

[James Vega]

Package: libsbuild-perl
Version: 0.62.5-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Build.pm
Tags: patch

I noticed when building the 2.11.1 devscripts package that the .changes
file attached to the log mail isn't UTF-8 encoded.  Since all control
files must be UTF-8 encoded according to policy §5.1, it should be safe
to specify a charset of UTF-8 as per the attached patch.
