Hi Sascha,

The recommended forms for bzr URLs all start with one of the following
forms:

  https://
  nosmart+https://
  http://
  nosmart+http://
  lp:

Though, the latter 3 will trigger a "vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri"
instead.  If you want a lintian clean package you are looking at one of
the https-based URLs if available.

Thanks,
