Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.11
Severity: minor
Hi,
by accident I passed a deb to dput and not a changes file:
$ dput firefoxdriver_2.53.2-3_amd64.deb
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/debian/deb822.py:214: UnicodeWarning:
decoding from utf-8 failed; attempting to detect the true encoding
UnicodeWarning)
Traceback (most recent call last):

It would be nicer if this looked like:
$ dput firefoxdriver_2.53.2-3_amd64.deb
firefoxdriver_2.53.2-3_amd64.deb is not a valid changes file.
I guess the underlying problem is in deb822 which fails when detecting the
encoding of the gziped file.
