Your timeline is inaccurate. According to DEP-14's own Changes section, debian/latest was not recommended until 4 years ago. I did not notice the change right away. The Debian GNOME team was a fairly early adopter of DEP-14 and we had to spend time at the beginning of the trixie development cycle to convert all our packages from debian/master to debian/latest [1]. (Out of an abundance of caution, it seemed not helpful to do that migration while bookworm was frozen.) Therefore, even the strongest supporters of DEP-14 may have only very recently adopted debian/latest. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2023/08/msg00005.html Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
