# `vcs-field-not-canonical`

The VCS-* field contains an uncanonical URI. Please update to use the current canonical URI instead. This reduces the network bandwidth used and makes debcheckout work independent of the port forwarding and redirections properly working.

Note that this check is based on a list of known URIs. Lintian did not send an HTTP request to the URI to test this.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
