The candidate DEP-14 (https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/)
currently reads:

  In Debian this means that uploads to unstable and experimental
  should be prepared either in the debian/latest branch or
  respectively in the debian/unstable and debian/experimental
  branches.

I'm not sure where you got debian/master from?

Have you tried using the web interface to change the default?
(Settings > Repository) Create a new branch called debian/latest,
branched from master, then set the default branch to debian/latest
(and perhaps unprotect the master branch on the same page).
