But as I said it's unrelated to this DEP and should be part of the
developer's reference.
Unless you want to suggest a specific standardized name for a NMU patch
branch... but this does seem a bit premature given that nobody is
currently doing stuff like that. The few persons that I saw commit their
NMU to git just used the main branch for this (and not some
alternate/dedicated branch).
