git.debian.org and Alioth were discontinued a while ago so you should
remove those URLs from debian/control. If you are using some other site
to host a packaging repository, update the URLs to point at that
location. Debian has a GitLab instance at salsa.debian.org which you can
use. And try to use a 'https' url instead of 'http' in these fields.
