Improve the gbp.conf template

Otto Kekäläinen requested to merge otto/debmake:feature/betted-gbp-conf into main

  • The Debian packaging branch and the upstream import branch names should follow DEP-14 conventions. The debian-branch should never be 'main' as it is likely to clash with the upstream development branch name.

  • A good gbp.conf has at minimum documented if and what upstream release git tag format is, and if Debian packaging uses tarballs or not (and hence if pristine-tar should be expected). These are things that git-buildpackage can't guess and thus makes sense to recommend as the bare minimum contents for gbp.conf.
