Your assertion that DEP-14 uses master=upstream came as a bit of a surprise
to me. After another reading of DEP-14, I conclude that this isn’t
sufficiently clearly specified, if it is indeed intentioned.

The “Managing upstream sources” section talks about upstream/* branches
only in the context of importing release tarballs.

The “Importing upstream releases from Git tags” subsection doesn’t mention
any branch names.

The only section which explicitly talks about the master branch is the
“Native packages” section, which doesn’t apply to the case at hand.

I was under the impression that “upstream” is the branch name one should
use for upstream sources, but as outlined above, that isn’t specified
either. I think it would be good to file this is an issue against DEP-14.
What do others think?
