This syntax is now documented in policy and used by the Rust team too:

Bug#932697: Please cope with Haskell-style Vcs-Git header

2019-07-21 Thread Ian Jackson
Package: devscripts
Version: 2.19.5
Control: block -1 by 932696

Hi.  Unfortunately:

$ debcheckout bustle
declared git repository at git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-haskell/bustle.git
git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-haskell/bustle.git bustle ...
fatal: destination path 'bustle' already exists and is not an empty directory.
checkout failed (the command above returned a non-zero exit code)
$

This is because:
  Source: bustle
  Version: 0.7.4-1
  Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/haskell-team/DHG_packages.git [p/bustle]

This syntax and its semantics do not appear to be documented in
policy.

Ian.
