'unpatched' could be very confusing. To me, it means that there is no
Debian delta at all. Let's avoid that.
We previously considered 'convert-from-unapplied'. But that has the
parallel problem, noted in #905573, that the command works for a tree
with no Debian delta, which is trivially both patches-applied and
patches-unapplied.
So I'd like to suggest 'convert-from-unpatched-upstream-source'. That
covers both the case where there is no Debian delta, and the case of a
patches-unapplied view where there is a delta.
It is long, but IIRC all these subcommands have deliberately long names
since they are expected to be run very rarely.
(The trailing '-source' could be dropped but I would be inclined not
to.)
