I think that would answer my concerns. As long as there is clarity (e.g. through the build failing), it doesn't matter too much if a 'non-standard' branch is used instead of master. Best would be to display an explicit message when the build fails, saying that the KDE/4.11 (or whatever) branch is the correct one to use.
