+It is the policy for every Debian package outside the non-free
+distribution to have the sources readily available to allow users of
+the distribution the recompilation and patching. This also holds for
+all packages associated with BOINC. However, the subversion server does
+not manage that code directly, it only holds patches and the additional
+files for the Debian packages. This separation of upstream sources and
+the packaging effort eases subsequent updates to new upstream releases.
+Upstream's sources must hence be downloaded separately.
