+This directory lists patches used by the Debian package. It is not used
+by the normal Debian package build, as the patches are already applied
+by the .diff.gz all together.
+
+* If you are NMUing the Debian package:
+
+  Just ignore this directory (unless it helps you to understand what I did).
+  Everything applicaple to you .orig.tar.gz should already be in the
+  .diff.gz you have. Just modify the actual code, submit a patch with what
+  you did to the BTS and let me sort it out and include the patch in this
+  directory.
+
+* If you do a locally modified package:
+
+  Your choice. But you can savely ignore this directory. Nothing in the
+  build system uses it.
+
+* If you are preparing a new version
+
+  Start with the clean source from CVS. Choose which of the patches you
+  want to apply and apply them. Copy the debian directory (without the
+  CVS directories) and build.
