Seems not to work as expected yet.

You can try it with src:wml as currently in Debian Unstable or as in
git on https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wml.

$ lintian -iIE --pedantic wml_2.28.0~ds1-2_amd64.changes
W: wml source: national-encoding DEP-3 header debian/patches/change-national-encoding-to-utf-8.patch

But the patch has not a single (visible) 8-bit character in there.

I also attached the full patch in question. Hopefully it survives the
mail as it contains a mixture of different encodings. I compressed it
with gzip in the hope it avoids these kind of issues. :-)

Here's the DEP3 header of that patch (copy and paste from a "cat"
inside an xterm) though:

Description: Change national encoding to UTF-8. Prompted by Lintian.
Author: Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org>
Forwarded: no

--- a/COPYRIGHT.OTHER
+++ b/COPYRIGHT.OTHER
[...]

I hope these details help to find the culprit.

Thanks again for caring and for the initial try to fix this!

		Regards, Axel
