As I read Raphael's proposal, different branches may have different
contents. Raphael defines a thing called a `packaging branch'
(terminology is from git-dpm, I think). A packaging branch is like
this:

dgit requires it.

If you check out such a git tree, and say dpkg-buildpackage, what
happens ?
I would much prefer it if branches with different layouts had
different conventional branch names!
