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. Scott K Scott K
