I'm not sure that DEP-14 was providing a recommendation for sid branches at that time. Anyway, I think that indeed we should offer in the policy a choice between debian/unstable, debian/latest or debian/master although I'd not recommend the latest, because it makes less sense logically, so I'd deprecate it. >> I pushed a debian/unstable branch and modified gbp.conf. >> >> 1.
