Lintian tag: vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri

Type: information

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The Vcs-* field uses an unencrypted transport protocol for the URI. It is
recommended to use a secure transport such as HTTPS for anonymous
read-only access.

Note that you can often just exchange e.g. git:// with https:// for
repositories. Though, in some cases (bzr's "lp:" or CVS's pserver) it
might not be possible to use an alternative url and still have a working
(anonymous read-only) repository.
