Vcs-* fields are logically single line.
That, to me, would be a "full stop sentence".
If physically they are split over multiple lines this is fine, but
logically they remain one line.
If this is the case, then IMO it's dpkg-source job to unfold the field,
so that it appears a single line in dsc. Then debcheckout wouldn't
require any changes.
(dpkg is already aware of existence of Vcs-* fields, so it should be
okay to teach it also a bit about their semantics.)
