   I would really appreciate knowing whether these branches are in use --   
   whether they have the most recent upstream versions imported to them.   
      
   For example I often find pristine-tar branches but just ignore them,   
   where team policy allows me to.  So the fact that someone used it once   
   may not mean much statistically.   
      
   git-debpush has code in it to detect whether the current release in   
   d/changelog is represented in the pristine-tar branch if you want to   
   crib from somewhere.
