I just checked the image that was used on that job, and the uscan
version seems to be the latest one available.

# apt-cache policy devscripts
devscripts:
  Installed: 2.22.1

# uscan --version
This is uscan, from the Debian devscripts package, version 2.22.1

Could it be that there's a dependency missing for js? I'm sorry
but I have no experience building js packages.
