+socklog-run for Debian
+----------------------
+
+This package sets up the socklog-unix and socklog-klog service to provide a
+system log service and a kernel log service respectively.
+
+The socklog service directories are located in /etc/sv/. This also includes
+service directories for the not automatically enabled socklog-inet,
+socklog-notify, and socklog-ucspi-tcp services.
+
+The socklog-run package provides the virtual packages ``system-log-daemon''
+and ``linux-kernel-log-daemon'', and conflicts with other packages providing
+at least one of these virtual packages. This ensures that socklog is the
+only package installed on the system, that processes system and kernel log
+messages.
+
+The socklog package without the socklog-run package can be installed
+alongside other system- or kernel-log-daemons, e.g. to make use of the
+socklog programs from the command line only.
