+This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of Raphael Manfredi's
+dist program.
+
+This version of dist was put together by Manoj Srivastava
+<srivasta@debian.org>, from the sources distributed directly by
+the author, Raphael Manfredi <ram@hptnos02.grenoble.hp.com>.
+
+The changes in this package are essentially the addition of support for 
+the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding various debian.* files. 
+The changes in the default configuration are using the pager /bin/more,
+and using /usr/bin/ae as the default editor, since these programs are 
+guaranteed to be present in any debian system.  The other changes are
+to ensure that a .config directory is present, so that no mail message
+is sent to the maintainer while building the debian package.  An over-
+ride file is also used to ensure that installation occurs into a local
+debian-tmp directory, required to build the debianized version. 
+
+See the README file for more information
