+---------------------------
+
+IMPORTANT: Note that the Python bindings have been moved to the package
+"liblinear". This has been done to avoid possible name collisions, as "linear"
+is very generic.
+
+So, wherever the documentation (especially upstream's README) instructs you to
+use one of,
+
+    import linear
+    import linearutil
+
+use
+    import liblinear.linear
+    import liblinear.linearutil
+
+instead.
