I've finally got back to looking at the wording here.

The one place we refer to
<https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux.git> is in the section
"Building a development version of the Debian kernel package".  This is
about building unreleased changes, which of course are not tagged.  I
don't think we can reasonably give instructions for verifying them.

For <git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git>,
I have changed the URL to use "https:" and changed the instructions to
include tag verification with the aid of the Debian source package. 
It's annoyingly complex but should work:
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-bugs.html#s9.2.1
