The command git clone will give you a working copy. You can also use git clone g...@salsa.debian.org:java-team/yourpackagegit.git if you prefer to have all variables set correctly right from the start. In addition there is also gbp clone which will automatically checkout master, upstream and pristine-tar branch in one go. This is usually all I need to work from. Maybe this is simply a matter of different work flows but surely not a reason why VCS fields in debian/control fields are required. You can also call both commands in a script with the source package name as a parameter. >> Seriously I can write you a little shell script that does all that for >> you too.

Yes, that's certainly a bonus but not a real blocker for me because very soon all source packages, including the old SVN repos, will be pushed to salsa.debian.org. Now we have a uniform address space which is easy to remember. Not really a show stopper for a handful of regular contributors IMO.
