In most cases this already answers the question.
It doesn't only when the maintainer forgot (or most likely didn't know 
how/didn't know they need it) to change it on salsa when changing the 
debian-branch from one to another.

As I said, this step is unnecessary because you alreadu have the answer. 
Also, it will always contain the name of current branch or none (or be 
incorrect).

True.
