Policy ยง5.6.26 [1] describes how to specify the branch in case of Vcs-Git. So
to fix this bug, sbuild should have:
Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/buildd-tools/sbuild -b debian/unstable
Vcs-Browser:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/buildd-tools/sbuild.git?h=debian/unstable
Thanks to Stuart Prescott for making me aware of this!
cheers, josch
