I think this has been mentioned in the past, and I understand this could be considered confusing depending on the context. But I think that in this specific context this looks a bit like a stretch, because using this naming to refer to an archive area without also qualifying it in addition with a specific suite/codename does not make much sense to me, also when in particular the main archive area is implicit in most (if not all) of the maintainer side of the packaging. So in context, to me it seems clear it should be referring to the main development branch for Debian. :) Thanks, Guillem
