.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

+.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
