Dear team,

https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackagingPQ#Git_Branch_Names
states:

"we are strongly recommending you use DEP-14 style branch names"

and below:

"upstream - The un-Debianized upstream source."

I ask to change the latter branch name to "upstream/latest",
first, because that's what DEP-14 says, and
second, because "upstream/<version>" is necessary anyway in some
cases and is less confusing then.

Objections?

TIA from the ministry of silly bike shedding.
