I'm not sure what Salsa is, nor what Vcs fields are, I'm assuming this
is a Debian specific thing and I'm not that familiar with Debian
ecosystem...

I'm assuming this is something debian-specific? Perhaps Nathan can chime
in here, because this does not think something related to xfsprogs
upstream development?!

I'm not the xfsprogs maintainer though, but this doesn't seem to be
concerning with xfsprogs upstream development.
