Hi Clint,

you are working on new Haskell packages for instance in new queue[1].
That's great!  Thanks a lot for strengtening the Haskell ecosystem in
Debian.

I'm aware that all Haskell packages maintained by the Debian Haskell
Group are maintained in a Git monorepo.  I also realised that while not
all existing Haskell packages in Debian are announcing this fact in
their Vcs fields this is obviously work in progress and I have seen that
this was fixed in lots of existing packages and (nearly) all packages in
Git are featuring Vcs fields right now.  So we can expect that for
pending uploads Vcs fields will be set.  This is great and I'm really
happy about this.  Thanks a lot.

However, Alexandre Detiste pointed out that there are rare cases like
this

 
https://salsa.debian.org/haskell-team/DHG_packages/-/commit/34f4aea721ba3875c57aaaa3e414a4348eb8666e

where freshly created packages are missing the Vcs fields.  This is
not frequent so in those packages in new I mentioned two have their
Vcs field set in Git[2].  Thus I expect the upload following once
the package is accepted will fix this.

However, this is not the case for haskell-replace-megaparsec[3].

I assume you have some method to create new packages semi-automatically.
May I suggest you extend this procedure to make sure Vcs fields will be
included?  This could help avoiding such most probably unwanted
missings.

Kind regards and thank you for your work on the Haskell ecosystem
   Andreas.
