I tend to think that branching will easier with git pq. I seem to
remember some maintainers having problems with non-standard branch names
under git dpm. So one valid reason for not adopting different branches
will no longer apply.
I personally think that DEP14 would be a good idea. I think the only
difference people would notice is that master is renamed to
debian/master.
We would need to be careful though, having both a master and a
debian/master - even during transition planning - could be
confusing. Which one do I update? Probably no way to mark a branch read
only on alioth either (?).
After the transition, what happens to the master branch? Do we delete
it?
