There are already quite a few examples on how to use amtool in the upstream README.md. I don't think that README.Debian is the right place to add additional examples that are not specific to running amtool on Debian. Might I suggest that if you still find the upstream documentation lacking, you open a pull request upstream? The Prometheus documentation is open source, and they welcome contributions.
