@brun,
my front door is done like this, i.e. not ALL burnt off and it's been like it for 15 years plus, I get it painted every few years. There's probably still some original Edwardian paint on there no doubt! You still need to ensure that any exposed wood is primed and knots sealed etc but otherwise sound paint is sound paint and makes a good base for new paint provided it's keyed and undercoated.
I suppose it comes down to what's easier scraping off the loose, filling and sanding the flaky parts or stripping, part filling and sanding the entire door?
