While GitHub doesn't let you choose the name at clone time, you can 
rename the repo afterwards.

For example, I could have a fork of /alexm/foobar named 
/jwilk/upstream-foobar (but not /jwilk/upstream/foobar).

Or one could create new organization, say "debupstream"[0] and put the 
fork at /debupstream/foobar/.


[0] Sadly, the organization "upstream" is already taken.
