Bug#682909: bugs.debian.org: non-ASCII characters are handled incorrectly

[Євгеній Мещеряков]

Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

NOTE: It is probably not a good idea to read this bug report via the
web interface.

It seems BTS have problem with displaying UTF-8 correctly. It is
probably handled as Latin-1.

My package's bug page:

   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=spark;dist=unstable

It says:

    Maintainers for spark are Євгеній Мещеряков 
<eu...@debian.org>.

(or imagine mix of some strange latin and non-printable characters).

The HTML contains:

    Євгеній Мещеряков &lt;eu...@debian.org&gt;

so this is UTF-8 interpreted as Latin-1 and re-encoded as UTF-8.

Another strange example that I found while searching for reported bugs:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652478

It says:

    NM process now refer to “New Member”

and 

    Reported by: David Prévot <taf...@debian.org>

but the message body is displayed correctly:

    From: David Prévot <taf...@debian.org>
    Subject: NM process now refer to “New Member”
