There have been documentation for XS-Vcs-* since ages in the BTS as an addendum for the devref (#391023), with patch. The documentation should be ok, except that you can forget the trailing "XS-" prefix since now the fields are officially supported by dpkg.

Bug#448532: ITP: phpmyvisites -- free web analytics
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Frederic Daniel Luc Lehobey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Package name: phpmyvisites
Version : 2.3~b4 (2.3 beta4)
Upstream Author : phpMyVisites team
* URL : http://www.phpmyvisites.us/
* License : GPL-any
Programming Lang: PHP
Description : free web analytics
phpMyVisites is a free and powerful open source (GNU/GPL) software for websites
statistics and audience measurements.
phpMyVisites gives a lot of information on websites visitors, visited pages,
software/hardware utilization, etc... The GUI Interface is fun and practical.
The installation is entirely automated and very simple.
Statistics are very complete and use many clear graphics to present data. The
web analytics software is translated in more than 30 languages!
For the beta4 release (expected to be the 2.3 final release), I will
target only experimental and move to unstable once 2.3 is really out.
I put below a temptative copyright file following the new proposal
http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat

Awesome. Maybe you could help for example the maintainer of
git-hgbuildpackage to use python-debian, so that all the code is on
one place.
BTW, I tried your example
/usr/share/doc/python-debian/examples/packages/grep-maintainer and it
doesn't work:
$ ./grep-maintainer "stefano"
Traceback (most recent call last):

Queen Elizabeth II authorised William Collins of Glasgow to print my copy of the Scotish* version of the Authorised Vesion of the Old and New Testaments, under the same Letters Patent granted by Queen Victoria in 1839.

Wikipedia seems to have been corrected on this since I last looked. Also, it's also not clear whether the patent is actively enforced and it's well-known as not enforced against most printing outside the UK (the KJV is frequently printed in the US, for example, isn't it?) even by Englishmen.
