Package: iceweasel
Version: 23.0-1
Severity: normal

Not all valid UTF-8 encoded text files are regarded as UTF-8 when a
charset isn't provided and Character Encoding Auto-Detect is set to
Universal (in the View menu). In particular, this happens on files
containing only ASCII and "§" characters (this happens in some files
written in English, "§" denoting a section); such files are regarded
as being encoded in TIS-620.
Since UTF-8 is regarded as the universal encoding nowadays, it should
be preferred to any other encoding (when this is valid).

There also seems to be an agreement that UTF-8 should be preferred
more generally for Debian:
