Bug#842371: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: dpkg check for debian-uri is different between Vcs-* fields

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.085
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed that the check for the debian-uri in Dpkg/Control/Source.pl is
different between Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git, the former checks for "cgit"
in the path while the latter checks for "git" in the path.

This can lead to some confusion.

Case 1, if the same value is used on the two fileds, a warning is
emitted for only one of the two, e.g.:
Vcs-Browser: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/davmail.git/
Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/davmail.git

Case 2, if different values are used cme can be tricked into not issuing
warnings at all, e.g.:
Vcs-Browser: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/davmail.git/
Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-java/davmail.git

In both cases I'd expect the debian-uri warning on both the fields.

Thanks,
   Antonio
