The only active branch apart from debian/sid is
debian/bookworm-backports, which already has the prefix. If you want
to duplicate the stale branches to add debian/ prefix there that
sounds fine, but it's unlikely they are going to see any activity,
doesn't hurt I guess, branches are cheap, and the debian/ prefix makes
sense to namespace them, so not a problem.
However, I'm not sure about sid -> unstable? What's the reason for
that? It's a lot of churn to change everything and everyone given it's
the main branch where I merge things and do all the work?
