{% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} creates the default labels it applies to pull requests if they do not already exist in the repository. If you want to use custom labels instead of the defaults, you can set the `labels` option in your `dependabot.yml` file per package ecosystem; this overrides the defaults.
