I agree that we need one standard naming scheme. Based on the email responses, it seems like debian/latest doesn’t convey the appropriate meaning, with something like debian/unstable being more appropriate.
As pointed out in another subthread, DEP-14 describes both debian/latest and debian/unstable, with different meanings.
debian/latest is for "we are working on this, it may end up in unstable or in experimental" (normal development).
debian/unstable is for "these commits are meant for unstable, they will not go through experimental" (e.g., urgent fixes).
debian/experimental is for "these comments are meant for experimental, they will not go (directly) into unstable" (e.g., big refactorings).
Perhaps debian/unreleased? debian/wip? debian/main?
Perhaps you should create a vote with MR options (similar to the one you did for DEP-0 naming). Once there is a strong consensus on what the name should be, I would recommend that gbp be reprogrammed to default to that name (I know it is a lot of work), and after that it will probably be fairly easy to to get DEP-14 accepted
