I am unable to reproduce this. Running `apt-get source 
elasticsearch-curator` to obtain the source from unstable, I can see:

$ quilt push -a
Applying patch setup.py-read-README-utf-8
patching file setup.py

Now at patch setup.py-read-README-utf-8

The patch is current and it applies without fuzz. The source also builds 
properly on reproducible.debian.net[1], so I suspect there's something 
wrong with the sources you're using. Can you please double-check that 
you are using the correct sources?

Regards,
Apollon
