+control.in vs. control
+----------------------
+
+As is common with CDBS-based packaged, the debian/control file is
+generated (though not automatically) from debian/control.in
+Therefore, it is recommended to make any changes to the debian/control.in
+file and then regenerate the real debian/control using something like the
+following:
+
+    debian/rules clean DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1
+
+Please make sure to check the generated debian/control file (as someone might
+have committed changes directly to this file without updating debian/control.in
+- which might result in a loss of their changes)
