.SH WORKFLOW - SIMPLE
It is always possible with dgit to clone or fetch a package, make
changes in git (using git-commit) on the suite branch
To a user looking at the archive, changes pushed using dgit look like
changes made in an NMU: in a `3.0 (quilt)' package the delta from the
previous upload is recorded in a new patch constructed by dpkg-source.
+.SH READ-ONLY DISTROS
+Distros which do not maintain a set of dgit history git repositories
+can still be used in a read-only mode with dgit. Currently Ubuntu
+is configured this way.
.SH PACKAGE SOURCE FORMATS
If you are not the maintainer, you do not need to worry about the
source format of the package. You can just make changes as you like
