In general, between a wiki page and a policy doc usually the policy doc is = more=20 important. Somebody changed the wiki page, this didn't lead to changing=20 the policy doc or the actual policy. But in this case the difference doesn't mean much, because this is not an= =20 enforced requirement. Some (many?) repos don't use either of these at all,= =20 using master (or I guess main). >I was having a look at the python-lsp-server repository and the branch >debian/main does not exist whilst debian/master does. Yes, you need to look at the branches to find which is the debian-branch=20 one. --=20 WBR, wRAR --ZeWAvNY7etgchBao Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJhBAABCgBLFiEEolIP6gqGcKZh3YxVM2L3AxpJkuEFAmkcJ4ctFIAAAAAAFQAP cGthLWFkZHJlc3NAZ251cGcub3Jnd3JhckBkZWJpYW4ub3JnAAoJEDNi9wMaSZLh XRMQAKcqc1Kty6ssLyDwB0tgNLVi3Z891eJmRoNhc1yhKc+N4AmUPbI95EcnqTZl 7St1oukOV/jL/dnEEXtefYlvf/9kiQ88IzbMFgvKcTBNQG+6dQNXZ0i87iBqczFh 9gmCnirgygRYtLE6ijqhnP0B6KrqGCxj2NrElWoXI8aG00Lmpt5B68RA0Wlir6C6 IaGSFEMB0mKvlbHqM58PhWtk1VKINByR9OH5M5LqFgLxY2uKvm+xuZCk4ch8tBzF SZy5lc3Hedwi/mTUG18Y9MrreZwp258quAkNW0HxAqdKQoE71sD/WayqLrlyaTsa rXkVMoHSasVjCk03tXnebKfEdk1vbfhimnTSTDsOTrn7jG/myc9zwFZWFydzMbWe enJdDNuQJIr1lKfxDEIxtzrbBKZRTnhVuUk/Y+c9YQOuUkdsqT1vY6mnxOSvPvu4 zAW3AsqhLdRHnBRjuVSAk8g5XsP7R9ddt+oSuZNAw/Yvh9WP/FxmijNrQrj9PcgI ZfpfzZ3gfGrbd9LqrbBxeSDDEJbkHxU4iVn+jqK/oiJUiJtAByd1ROEPKqDV1kBs 4vo+Y3vtquH3/rSusKbWB9Lx2JDkCMoXkOgHfS0YuYZ8gD99G3EfJtPSYp1naG3R fC391Migb4yF8oNBzRw0HJQBDLub68qIwLAX67ibqfoAsfEg =yoZP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZeWAvNY7etgchBao--
