This would require unpacking the source package, something that clearly
is very expensive to do for all packages in the archive, whereas Vcs-*
fields are available in the package index. Therefore, I'd consider
doing this a very very bad idea.
You should instead follow the Policy¹ and specify the correct branch if
HEAD is not what should be used. In particular, you should turn your
Vcs-Git field to
Vcs-Git: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/prerex.git -b vprerex
I've now overrode vcswatch information so this error should go away, but
the next package upload is going to drop the override and take the value
of Vcs-Git again.
Does this cover your bug?
