Lintian picks up the upstream changelog and Parse::DebianChangelog
chokes horribly on that because it is completely unlike any Debian
changelog.
The uninitialized value happens because Lintian gets a
Parse::DebianChangelog::Entry without a version. Using Data::Dumper, I
learned it consists only of an error and "Items".
The actual error is from the snippet below:
for my $entry (@entries) {
if ($entry->Maintainer) {
if ($entry->Maintainer =~ /<([^>\@]+\@[^>.]*)>/) {
tag 'debian-changelog-file-contains-[...];
}
}
$versions{$entry->Version} = 1;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
