I would call it 'master'. That's how upstream would call it.

Think about other systems, like Ubuntu and Maemo, it would be nice to have branches both for Maemo and Debian on the same repo: debian - what you call 'master' debian-patches - what you call 'patches' maemo5 - contains the debian/ dir, but for Maemo 5 maemo5-patches - patches for Maemo 5, might be based on top of debian-patches
