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.

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.
