I don't know, but I wasn't primarily thinking about people working internal to 
Debian (who might look at lintian output).  I was more thinking about users 
(both ours and downstream).  If they apt source <PKG> their debian/control 
will have the obsolete Vcs-Browser information.  I think there should at least 
be a tombstone there for them to understand where the team went.

I think this is much less relevant for #3 and #4 since they are more 
internally focused so some expectation that people will keep up with changes 
is more reasonable.
