We've been using the name "upstream-repo" for an additional local Git 
remote pointing to upstream's Git repository since 2013 or 2014.

Recently it looks like tools (git-buildpackage) and people (cf. a 
recent thread on -devel) are converging on the name "upstreamvcs". 
Since one is not better than the other I think we should just follow, 
change our stuff and be done with it.

For that purpose, I've pushed a branch called 'upstreamvcs' to 
perl-team/modules/packages/pkg-perl-tools.git which changes 
dpt-upstream-repo to dpt-upstreamvcs and updates all names and 
references, and a branch also called 'upstreamvcs' to 
perl-team/modules/meta.git where the only change is in our .mrconfig 
(to try dpt-upstreamvcs before dpt-upstream-repo).

(For updating local clones it should be enough to run 
`dpt-upstreamvcs' in a loop over all directories for the renaming.)

Please review, test, comment on, improve these branches!
I'd like to merge them (and upload pkg-perl-tools to experimental) in 
a couple of days.


Cheers,
gregor, from DebCamp
