I think there's value in using debian/master for the focus of development
rather than arguing debian/master vs. debian/unstable vs. debian/sid,
on the basis that it's essentially an arbitrary choice, and debian/master
is what other packages are already using.

In a thread about moving from a less-widely-used tool-specific git repo
layout (git-dpm) to a layout that is used by a lot of teams and doesn't
even strictly require a particular tool (a gbp-pq-style patches-unapplied
branch), it would seem odd to introduce another DPMT-specific point of
divergence :-)
