Hi James and other ones on the list,

When I updated uscan, I made 2 major mistakes.
 * Did not pay attention to --destdir features
 * uscan became too verbose for most people

The regressions caused by these are fixed in VCS.  So I really wish to
push the new version to unstable if there are no major problem in other
parts of devscripts.

FYI: Though there are 2 new normal bugs for uscan, these are not
     regressions and these are only feature requests which deserve to be
     addressed.
       #810976 [n|  |  ] Ignores non-zero exitcode of "action"
       #814049 [n|  |  ] improve warning for safe_replace

So let's not worry these bugs of uscan and upload a new package to fix
really bad situation caused by the major overhaul of uscan.

Best regards,

osamu
