We certainly could, just for the sake of picking a neutral option. I would
prefer debian/unstable as a default suggestion, since it reflects the repository
logic of Debian itself.
AFAIK there is not yet an option for configuring the default branch in GitLab.
When you create a repo locally, GitLab will deem the first branch pushed to be
default.
