FYI debian/master was DEP14:

  Changes
    2014-11-05: Initial draft by Raphaël Hertzog.
    2016-11-09: Extended version mangling to troublesome dots -- Ian Jackson.
    2020-11-29:
      * Replace <vendor>/master with <vendor>/latest
      * Recommend <vendor>/<suite> over <vendor>/<codename> for the devel branch
      * For native packages, require the default branch to be a devel branch
      * Minor typo fixes and cosmetic changes
      * Promote DEP to State: CANDIDATE

It's certain that there are many packages that follow DEP14 DRAFT rather
than CANDIDATE.  An alternative interpretation is that DEP14 strong
recommends (ie "should use", "should be", "we recommend")
<vendor>/latest rather than <vendor>/master.  Thus, <vendor>/master is
arguably still more DEP14 than not.  We've also seen the proliferation
of <vendor>/main development branches that fulfil all of the technical
objectives of DEP14, and I would consider them to also be DEP14.

As an aside, I'm curious what the undocumented 2024 edit was.

Best,
Nicholas
