I am also not excited by one more round of VCS URL updates. (But I am
very excited by the availability of a GitLab server for Debian.)
In case the final decision of the anonscm and salsa admins is to require
for an URL update, I would tend to wait that `cme fix dpkg-contol`,
which I run when I touch an old package, would start to do the work for me.
In that sense, I think that it is fine to only update the behaviour of
dh-r once other pieces of the ecosystem (cme, lintian, ...) make the
transition.
Have a nice day,
Charles
