I don't know, but I wasn't primarily thinking about people working internal=
 to=20
Debian (who might look at lintian output).  I was more thinking about users=
=20
(both ours and downstream).  If they apt source <PKG> their debian/control=
=20
will have the obsolete Vcs-Browser information.  I think there should at le=
ast=20
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=20
internally focused so some expectation that people will keep up with change=
s=20
is more reasonable.
