I know the reasons for using something else than "master" as default
branch for Debian packaging. I'm also fine with following sensible
DEP-14 suggestions in the long term. However, this should be done
consistently in a team wide automatic change to have all our packages
in the same shape.

Yes, this would be helpful.
