Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.24

 % cd $(mktemp -d)
 % mkdir debian
 % EDITOR=true dch --create
 % sed -i 's/VERSION/1.1/' debian/changelog
 % dch --nmu

dch then loads my editor with the first line of the file being:

 PACKAGE (1.1+nmu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

However, the Developers Reference (section "5.11.2 NMU version numbering")
claims:

 "If there is no debian-revision component in the version number then one
  should be created, starting at `0.1'"

which would imply:

 PACKAGE (1.1-0.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

(I am unsure to whether developers-reference disparities constitute a bug
in devscripts. If this is not the case, please feel free to re-assign or
close.)
