That could have been an option 10 years ago when people were creating
the tools if the branch scheme and naming would have been standardized
at the same time. It didn't happen, and Debian has a culture now that
anyone can maintain their packages using whatever conventions they
already have. Thus having a human and machine redable file that is
explicit about what conventions are is at the moment the best thing to
do.
