My limited understanding of the landscape of git workflows is that a
workflow that is quite popular among packages still using the 1.0 format
is the one used by the Debian X strike force. Julien Cristau described
it as follows when I asked about it on IRC:

commits directly, and we use quilt for changes that aren't upstream
