Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.21
Severity: important

uscan requires libwww-perl to operate. However, libwww-perl is not in
the Depends field of devscripts, but in the Suggests field. Running
"apt-get install devscripts" does not install libwww-perl which
renders uscan unusable. Therefore, libwww-perl should be a dependency
of devscripts and not a suggestion.

$ uscan
uscan: you must have the libwww-perl package installed
to use this script
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/uscan line 44.
