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.
