I think this (and #829444) could be technically implemented by adding a substitution variable, "release" or such and defaulting the branches to debian/%(release)s etc.
I’m also thinking detecting the branch format automatically could also be useful (master or %(release)s + upstream or debian/master or debian/%(release)s + upstream/*). -- Cheers, Andrej
