I think it should (instead) recommend debian/unstable (for uploads to unstable) (and in very brief) allow any debian/* branch layout & probably specifically name certain common ones. > Personally, I don't see a problem in finalizing DEP-14 with its current > wording, but I might miss something (more generally relevant than "let's > just all use git-buildpackage" which I don't think is what you are > saying here). my biggest problem with dep14 is that it doesnt recommend *one* layout. my biggest problem with how I see that interpreted is that I think debian/unstable is much better than debian/latest *as a default recommendation*. because IMO debian/latest is rather *not* helpful when uploads to experimental are involved. and because debian/unstable is rather very clear what this branch is about. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Segregation was legal.
