I get this error when building with "dpkg-buildpackage -A":

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position
2262: ordinal not in range(128)
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:42: override_dh_auto_configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
make: *** [debian/rules:23: build-indep] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build-indep subprocess returned
exit status 2

Dear maintainer: Now that the package has been accepted in unstable,
try uploading in source only form (dpkg-buildpackage -S). This way
bugs like this will never propagate to testing.

Thanks.
