Bug#990034: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: scan-copyrights does not handle non ASCII chars in package.json

[Walter Lozano]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.132
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

During my work I noticed that scan-copyrights does not handle non ASCII chars
in package.json, which leads to the following error

"malformed UTF-8 character in JSON string"

A proposed fix can be found in

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libconfig-model-dpkg-
perl/-/merge_requests/5

I hope you can check the issue and help me to fix it.

Thanks in advance,

Walter
