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.
Though it depends on the problem being solved.
