after a fresh install using aptitude install devscripts, i tried to
use dch:
dch: you must have the liburi-perl package installed
to use this script
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/dch line 53.
Could you promote liburi-perl package to Depends or at least Recommends ?
devscripts doesn't depend on all of the packages used by each of the
utilities, so that you can install the package and use e.g.
checkbashisms without having to have dupload or cvs-buildpackage
installed (see /usr/share/doc/devscripts/README.gz).
It does, however, suggest all of the relevant packages and both the
control file and README list which suggested packages are required for
each utility. Both list liburi-perl as required for debchange.
The fact that aptitude installs Recommends by default and apt is moving in
that direction makes it unlikely that we'd promote the Suggests to
Recommends as they'd then effectively be dependencies.
See also #389241 for a previous discussion of this issue.

Adam
