Package: python-stdeb
Version: 0.8.2-4
Severity: normal

The py2dsc program errors with non-ascii characters.  My environment is set
up for UTF-8:

    $ env | grep LC
    LC_PAPER=en_GB.utf8
    LC_MONETARY=en_GB.utf8
    LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.utf8
    LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.utf8
    LC_TIME=en_GB.utf8

And my terminal (gnome-terminal) has character encoding set to "Unicode (UTF-8)"

Showing the error:

$ py2dsc -m 'Carnë Draug <carandraug+dev at gmail.com>' serpent-1.8.tar.gz
