I don't think the ubuntu string is needed in the branch name, so the 
former is better.

If the packages will be built with git-buildpackage I suggest the to 
mirror the typical gbp layout:

 grass/master
 grass/pristine-tar
 grass/upstream

Since the upstream GRASS code includes a debian directory, a single 
branch should be sufficient, but it's not compatible with 
git-buildpackage (by default at least).

Kind Regards,
