Oh OK. So long as it's known and deliberate, I'm happy :)
But I notice upstream-etch does not exist either. How will we be
generating these branches, from upstream or from current
debian-unstable deleting the debian directory? I'm assuming here we
were planning to use upstream-etch branches. Just asking out of
curiosity, my main interest is in the future, I'll start creating
[upstream,debian]-experimental branches soon (unless etch gets released
before I get the chance).
