Hi DPT, I've found a small inconsistency in between [1] (section Branch names) and [2] (section Git Branch Names). The wiki says: * "debian/main (formerly debian/master) - The Debianized upstream source directory..." and the policy.rst says: * "debian/master - The Debianized upstream source directory...". Which one is correct?
In general, between a wiki page and a policy doc usually the policy doc is more important. Somebody changed the wiki page, this didn't lead to changing the policy doc or the actual policy.
But in this case the difference doesn't mean much, because this is not an enforced requirement. Some (many?) repos don't use either of these at all, using master (or I guess main).
I was having a look at the python-lsp-server repository and the branch debian/main does not exist whilst debian/master does.
Yes, you need to look at the branches to find which is the debian-branch one.
