Bug#542449: debbugs: cannot retitle with UTF-8 characters in new title

[Guillem Jover]

Package: debbugs

Hi!

I was trying to retitle a bug report but it failed due to using the
UTF-8 “” quotes. This is the returned error message:

,---
Processing commands for control@...:

> retitle 541734 sg3-utils: Use dh_prep instead of previous “dh_clean -k”
Failed to set the title of 541734: Non-printable characters are not allowed in bug titles.

Using the pretty quotes is kind of silly, but regardless, this is a
bug that probably should be fixed.

Sorry about the severity, forgot to set it to minor.

Sure thing, it's only that I used them w/o thinking and given that
they work in other places was just surprised to see them not work
here.
