Sure, briefly it points to the current development version of a package
available in some Version Control Management system.

The full story is in a bug report on developers-reference (and on my
blog) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391023, take the
latest patch.  Since a few days the fields have become official dpkg
fields, so you can avoid the heading "XS-" string that was proposed in
the early days.

For some example of sensible values you can look at the PTS page of some
package. For example all packages of mine have them, here is a sample
link: http://packages.qa.debian.org/v/vim.html (look at the "Version
Control" information on the left).

For debcheckout (which is in devscripts) see "man debcheckout".

Cheers.
