That's because Vcs-Browse in debian/control points to the debian/sid
branch. Vcs-Git does not.
Either the repo on Salsa should be configured to make debian/sid the
default branch, in which case Vcs-Browse can lose the branch
information, or Vcs-Git should use "-b debian/sid" as documented in
policy[0] and supported by the tools that understand Vcs-*.
