Hi! Current https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/ states that the default Debian branch name is 'debian/latest':
> In Debian this means that uploads to unstable and experimental should be > prepared either in > the debian/latest branch or respectively in the debian/unstable and > debian/experimental > branches. ... > The helper tools that do create those repositories should use a command like > git symbolic-ref > HEAD refs/heads/debian/latest to update HEAD to point to the desired branch. I would be curious to hear why people are *not* adopting 'debian/latest'? Why does the majority of Debian packages still use 'master' or 'debian/master' branch as the main development branch? Is it simply because git-buildpackage does not to default to 'debian/latest'? The DEP-14 has been around since November 2014 and one would think that DDs would have adopted 'debian/latest' as the default branch and git head now. Since 2020/2021 the whole 'master' was deprecated in favor of 'main' by most git services and tools, yet 'master' is still the most popular one in Debian. Git is a great tool for collaboration. It is sad to see that in Debian usage of git is stifled by simple things like people not agreeing to use a common branch naming scheme despite there being a proposal for 10+ years now.
