These all seem like good candidates, but I think we could probably
simplify at least some of the answers down from what you wrote in that

Yeah, this could well be useful. For example, I didn't realise that gbp
includes explicit support for the debian/-only workflows until the
recent thread.
Perhaps just an e-mail thread saying "here is all the workflows we think

I think that would be a separate FAQ if anything, and it's much less
important for the time being, so let's put that aside (unless someone
really wants to write one, of course).
