It makes more sense when you're a pure upstream, as master might be where you do all your cutting edge development, and there isn't usually a clear alternative naming scheme (e.g. code names). 'trunk' might be better anyway. But in Debian's case, all packaging work is targeted to a series, so it makes more sense to make that evident in the branch name. -Barry
