+Color pickers
+=============
+
+Upstream SageNB uses 3 different types of color picker that the user can choose
+from. These use extremely old code, seem to be abandoned by their authors, and
+are a pain to package.
+
+Instead of these, Debian uses vanderlee's colorpicker, which is easier to use,
+actively maintained, and was already available in the libjs-jquery-colorpicker
+package. It is used *in place* of the old default "colorpicker" colorpicker.
+The other values, "jpicker" and "farbtastic", will raise an error in Debian.
+
+Please do file bugs in case there are any issues with this. However, I can say
+that I will not switch this package to the old arrangement, but rather would
+try to fix any issues with the new arrangement. Hopefully there are none.
