This is something that you don't know... a derivative can always want to
fork for whatever reason (the most common one being that we lag
behind upstream). And another reason for the namespace is to not collide
with the upstream namespace. And this one is almost always there (given
most upstream use git nowadays).

Given the above, I believe that having just debian/master is better than
encouraging the use of "master". I think the DEP reached a good compromise
already.
