Thanks Thomas, This shed some light on what I read at [1](see NOTE
under "For development releases"), quoting it here:

"NOTE: If the Git repository listed in debian/control's Vcs-Git field
does not indicate an explicit branch (with the -b <branch> suffix) then
it should have its HEAD point to the branch where new upstream versions
are being packaged (that is one of the branches associated to a
development release)..."

So the complete answer to me

To what question, again? Your initial email asks about a disrepancy in two documents, but it, again, doesn't describe what you actually want to know.

right now would be:
1) The branch stated in debian/control Vcs-Git; or
2) If branch not stated,
	2.1. Check the default branch in salsa; or
	2.2. use 'git ls-remote --symref <repo> HEAD', as it should be
pointing to the branch desired branch (as Peter suggested).

Is this the correct understanding?

Probably, depends on the problem you are solving.
