If you are willing to maintain the packages, then probably, you will
want to have also branches for testing and stable. Which is why I use:
- debian-sid
- upstream-sid
- debian-wheezy
- upstream-wheezy
- debian-squeeze
- etc. (for backports and friends too...)
Also, I don't think that "master" is an indication of any sort.
I often try to avoid it if possible.
Just my 2 cents of advice...
