My personal pet peeve is the difference between the source package and the
packaging git repository contents. Those two especially differ in the state of
patches: They're applied in the unpacked source package, and not applied in
the packed source package and in the git repository contents. That is for me a
constant source of confusion and it would be nice if your document would
contain an explanation.
To be clear, there are several patches-applied workflows (where both
d/patches and the changed files are committed to git) in use in the
archive by high profile packages. For example, Emacs.
