It depends on the Vcs, bzr URL include the branch for instance.
In the case of git, I don't have any nice answer. But you can always setup
a mirror on git.debian.org where HEAD points to the right branch.
Or we can define a standardized name. If the branch "debian" exists, it
should be used, otherwise "master" is supposed to be the debian packaging
branch.
