I think the idea of the lintian tag is that one should not have to join any team to be able to do a QA upload, and that's precisely why I moved the package. If you think this is not ok, despite the lintian tag, feel free to change the Vcs fields again in the next upload, but I think it would be better to have the lintian tag clarified first. Thanks.
