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?
