Thanks. I don't have figures about their respective usage and I have no time to look into collecting such statictics. However I have been convinced by Simon Mc Vittie's request to document some sort of preference. debian/unstable better matches what we put in the changelog: we put unstable for upload to the development release (and we put a codename for stable uploads). debian/unstable is more expressive than debian/sid for persons who are not very familiar with the debian release naming scheme.
