my biggest problem with dep14 is that it doesnt recommend *one* layout. my
biggest problem with how I see that interpreted is that I think debian/unstable

because IMO debian/latest is rather *not* helpful when uploads to experimental
are involved. and because debian/unstable is rather very clear what this
branch is about.
Would I then branch from debian/unstable to debian/experimental and then
later merge back to unstable for an unstable upload.
I think for a package who is usually maintained in unstable and only
occasionally has an experimental version (for example during freezes or
when especially large changes are tested [for example adduser's new
logging code]), debian/latest is the correct way, while packages that
almost constantly have an experimental version (for example when the
maintainer is really good at uploading upstream betas) should have
debian/unstable and debian/experimental.
For this, my uneducated guess is that there is no "right" way that fits
all. I might be convinced otherwise, but I don't have anything to say
anyway.
Greetings
Marc
