+Description: transitional package for the SILC client
+ SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a network protocol designed
+ to provide end-to-end security for conferencing services. SILC has a
+ command set and a user interface similar to IRC, but the network
+ protocol is completely different as it supports public key strong
+ cryptography and a different network model.
+ .
+ This package is meant to help users transition from the official SILC client
+ to the SILC plugin for irssi.

+
+  The official SILC client is no longer provided by Debian.  This client is
+  simply a fork of irssi.  In order to provide proper security support, Debian
+  now only support the irssi plugin based on the official client.
+
+  For more information on how to use the irssi SILC plugin, please refer to
+  /usr/share/doc/irssi-plugin-silc/README.Debian and other material in this
+  directory.
