Description
Describe the change
Somewhat of a follow-up of my conversation with @creviera, we should document basic Debian repo terminology, how our components are laid out ("nightlies" and then "main" which is actually release candidates that don't match the git main branch), common tasks like how to download an old version and then gotchas, like package deletion not actually working without manual intervention.
