After playing some more with it, I found a few problems, tracked down
the origin of the decoding (which was introduced for the case where we
download the <pkg>-readme.txt description file) and installed a patch
into master which should fix this right.

Now the question is how to adapt the fix for emacs-26: the patch
I installed is too invasive for emacs-26, I think.

Maybe we can patch over the problem by using `last-coding-system` instead
of `utf-8`?
