I am guilty of having used `debian/latest` in multiple of my packages inside the DPT by following DEP-14, because I prefered it to the DPT branch name and I use DEP-14 in all my other packages. > When the GNOME team switched from debian/master to debian/latest, it > was a coordinated change applied to every package maintained by the team. Do we know if this was automated by a tool/script, or if this was a manual effort by multiple people? I would be happy to help update our current DPT policy to use DEP-14 and perform the migration.
