I suggest to use `upstream/latest` as upstream branch.
It spares you separating upstream/latest, upstream/master,
upstream/whatever later.
again, using plain 'upstream' is current DPT policy. :-)
And it's a good choice to me.
For me using 'upstream-1.x' or 'upstream/1.x' doesn't make much
difference as branch name for keep track of e.g. the 1.x release.
But using 'upstream/latest' instead of just 'upstream' makes much of
difference in case you need to deal 80%-95% with releases that are the
current rolling release, it safes me much more often from a needed
further completion of the branch name!
In other words, I would be against changing the current policy regarding
the default upstream branch name.
