The only active branch apart from debian/sid is
debian/bookworm-backports, which already has the prefix. If you want
to duplicate the stale branches to add debian/ prefix there that
sounds fine, but it's unlikely they are going to see any activity,
doesn't hurt I guess, branches are cheap, and the debian/ prefix makes
sense to namespace them, so not a problem.
However, I'm not sure about sid -> unstable? What's the reason for
that? It's a lot of churn to change everything and everyone given it's
the main branch where I merge things and do all the work?

today's team meeting, I want to rename branches in other kernel-team
package repositories to follow DEP-14.

the other suite branches to have a "debian/" prefix.

For the following repositories, I plan to rename "master" to
"debian/latest" and the suite branches to have a "debian/" prefix:

- ethtool
- firmware-free
- firmware-nonfree
- initramfs-tools
- kernel-handbook
- klibc
- kup
- linux-base
- nfs-utils
- wireless-regdb

I believe the other package repositories are already following DEP-14.

I will wait at least a week before doing anything, in case there are
objections to the above plan.

The reason is that DEP-14 specifically mentions "debian/unstable"
instead of "debian/sid", so that's what other developers are going to
expect to see.

I realise all this renaming will be disruptive, but it moves us toward
a more consistent experience for developers working across the kernel
team packages and across the whole distribution.

I will go ahead with this on Monday, possibly excluding the debian/sid
renaming in iproute2.

I've just pushed the new branches and switched the defaults myself.
