Sure. I usually have "debian" for unstable and then "debian/jessie",
"debian/jessie-backports" etc for the backports, but I would not mind using
"debian/sid" or "debian/unstable" for the main development branch.
In the end, it's just a name ;)

One thing about backports, policykit in jessie provides polkitd.service, while
stretch/sid have polkit.service (like upstream) and tuned.service depends on
the later. It's a simple patch for jessie, but we'll have to carry it.

I'll setup the collab-maint repo and push my stuff there.

Yepp, will do so shortly.
