+This package is a bundle of several upstream distributions, so it cannot be
+updated in the usual manner (using uscan, uupdate, svn-upgrade, etc.)
+
+Instead, you must check which versions have been updated using:
+  cd tarballs
+  ./check-upstream-versions
+ (you must be in the tarballs directory to read packages.cfg)
+
+When new versions are detected, download them into the appropriate tarball
+directories using an appropriate tool, such as wget. Directory numbers
+refer to the build sequence, so modules in 01 arebuilt first, then 02, and
+so forth). Remove the old version (using svn rm) and add the new version
+(using svn add). Adding new packages is similar, except there is obviously
+no removal of old versions.
+
+Lastly, you must update the control metadata files. If adding new modules,
+you must corresponding data to packages.cfg or the tarball will not be
+recognized. The format of the file should be self-explanatory and should
+be updated when copyright information changes, when the upstream package
+URL changes, or when the short description should be different.
+
+By running the command:
+  cd tarballs
+  ./check-upstream-versions control
+the debian/control and debian/copyright files will be updated as needed.
+
+This means any new packages will have their names and descriptions added
+to debian/control, and the filenames and/or copyright data in d/copyright
+will be updated accordingly.
