Hi,

Another strange message is also easy to reproduce by replacing the
first record's version in the d/changelog
by, for instance, the word VERSION (like provided by the template
using dch --create):
$ uscan
uscan: warning:     debian/changelog(l1): version 'VERSION' is
invalid: version number does not start with digit
LINE: audacious (VERSION) unstable; urgency=medium
uscan warn: Couldn't chdir audacious, skipping: No such file or directory

Not clear to me what this last chdir error is related to.

Thanks,
Patrice
