Sorry for being unclear, what I meant is that a rewrite from

Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-perl/packages/<package>.git",
Vcs-Browser: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/<package>.git",

to

Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/<package>.git",
Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/<package>

will be impossible to find for a generic automatic rewriting scheme.

It might work though if the team name and the path beyond it stay the
same ...
  

Cheers,
gregor
