vcs-field-uses-not-recommended-uri-format
The VCS-* field uses a URI which doesn't match the recommended format, but still looks valid. Examples for not recommended URI formats are protocols that require authentication (like SSH). Instead where possible you should provide a URI that is accessible for everyone without authentication.
This renders debcheckout(1) unusable in these cases.
