 Debian Enhancement Proposals
 ============================
 
-[[How-to|howto]]
+*Debian Enhancement Proposals* (or *DEPs*, for short) offer a device to
+**organize discussions** about various kinds of enhancements in the
+[Debian project](http://www.debian.org), reflect their **current
+status** and, in particular, **archive their outcomes**.
+
+In essence, each enhancement proposals is assigned to one or more
+**drivers** which follow the proposals advancing through various
+[**states**](deps/dep0/workflow.png), until it is finally accepted (or
+rejected). Discussions about ongoing DEPs happen in the usual Debian way
+(i.e., the most appropriate mailing list, IRC channel, etc.).
+
+More rationale and the full details about DEPs can be found in [**DEP 0:
+Introducing Debian Enhancement Proposals**](deps/dep0).
