System: Xubuntu 14.04.
Current gdebi version: 0.9.5.3ubuntu2 (from trusty-updates)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have some non-en_US locale at your system. I have ru_RU for example.
2. sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev devscripts build-essential
3. sudo apt-get build-dep gdebi
4. apt-get source gdebi
5. cd gdebi-0.9.5.3ubuntu2
6. debuild -us -uc
The build process will fail as shown in the first attachment.
Now try the same with locale set to en_US (but do a cleanup first):
