Correct, which is why the Vcs-Git URI syntax should be fixed to include an optional branch name. You still don't need to be able to reference more than one branch in a given source package, though; the unstable package should point to the unstable branch, the experimental package to the experimental branch, etc. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
