Hi!
## How many source packages are in Debian unstable as of today?
± zgrep "^Package: " Sources.gz | wc -l
38199
## How many source packages have a gbp.conf?
± ls -1 *_gbp.conf | wc -l
13570
(24629 do not have it)
## What is the most popular 'debian-branch'?
Note! The Sources.gz used to analyze this was from Debian unstable so
one would not expect to see any debian/bookworm or debian/12-bookworm
kind of lines here.

In the light of these stats I am fine with current version of the
DEP-14 text, and I am happy with what I settled on in my packages, in
particular the most complex one
(https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/gbp.conf)
that uses basically all features of git-buildpackage and DEP-14).
Also, it would be cool if trends.debian.net included some kindof
gbp.conf stats to track how things evolve over time. For that wishlist
request I filed
https://salsa.debian.org/lucas/debian-trends/-/issues/3.
