debcheckout looks only at the VCS fields of the actual available package, not 
the one in unstable/testing.

So, if you run stable, debcheckout darcs will point to nowhere (since we moved 
darcs to git, LOL).

the package in unstable/stretch points to git, like the other haskell tools
https://sources.debian.net/src/darcs/2.12.4-2/debian/control/

use debcheckout only when running testing/unstable is preferred, since we like 
to add VCS or move them between
releases :p
