That's not good, as it changes existing config meaning.
But why not support fetch lines in [branch.*] sections?

make your config look like
[remote."gitster"]
url = gitster.example.com:/home/junio/git.git/
[branch."master"]
remote = gitster
fetch = heads/master:remotes/gitster/master
merge = remotes/gitster/master
[branch."next"]
remote = gitster
fetch = heads/next:remotes/gitster/next
merge = remotes/gitster/next
A fetch line in [branch.*] means: Also fetch this refspec in
addition to the refspecs specified in the remote section.
Problem being that "git fetch gitster" does nothing anymore :-(
Other option: Introduce "fetchonly" line which ignores the original
fetch lines in the remote section.
[remote."gitster"]
url = gitster.example.com:/home/junio/git.git/
fetch = heads/master:remotes/gitster/master
fetch = heads/next:remotes/gitster/next
[branch."master"]
remote = gitster
fetchonly = heads/master:remotes/gitster/master
merge = remotes/gitster/master
