While there is no doubt that today the file should be UTF-8, I am not conviced it was so obvious in 2002, when the 0.43-1 version of multimail was uploaded. :) Importing dsc from snapshot.debian.org is going to face historic content, and should not fail when the content in reality is irrelevant for the import.
