Yes please start warning (not pedantic) now about Vcses hosted at
{anonscm,alioth,svn,bzr,hg,darcs,arch}.debian.org.

elsewhere at all!

In general, I'd just warn about
orphaned-package-not-maintained-in-debian.org-infrastracture or
somesuch.  Then, if it's not maintained in git it would trigger the
above.
