 =head1 2. Getting the package (into the repository)
 
 Usually the latest version of the package in the archive will be the
-starting point for the adoption. It can be downloaded with
-
-   apt-get source -d $srcpkgname
-
-This source package is then put into the group's subversion repository, as
-described in L<http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html>; in short:
-
-   svn-inject -l 2 $srcpkgname_$version.dsc svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/
-
-You might need to check out the directory again, if you've used svn-inject's
-"-c 0" switch and/or move the tarball around.
-
-Setting the correct svn-bp svn properties (cf.
-F</usr/share/doc/svn-buildpackage/CONFIG>) on
-C<$your_new_package_directory/debian> helps for further C<svn-upgrade>'s.

+starting point for the adoption.
 
 F<takeover-for-pkg-perl.sh> (which can be found in our repository at
-C<svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/scripts/>) automates these two steps
-and also adds a line to the changelog, with either a bug number for an RFA
-or a link to a message with the request for takeover from the maintainer.
-
-F<fill_svn_props> (again in C<svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/scripts/>)
-sets the svn-bp svn properties on C<$your_new_package_directory/debian>.
+C<svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/scripts/>) automates the
+injection of the package into svn, adding appropriate svn-buildpackage
+properties to the debian directory.  It also adds a line to the
+changelog, with either a bug number for an RFA or a link to a message
+with the request for takeover from the maintainer.
+
+To do this manually instead, use C<apt-get source> to fetch the latest
+version in the archive, and then follow the steps for an initial
+upload described at
+L<http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html#3__initial_upload>.
+Use F<fill_svn_props> (again in
+C<svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/scripts/>) to set the svn-bp
+svn properties if you forget the '--setprops' option to C<svn-inject>.
