+twoftpd-run for Debian
+----------------------
+
+This package sets up the twoftpd service to listen on 0.0.0.0:21, and
+additionally provides a service directory to set up an anonymous twoftpd
+service.
+
+The twoftpd service directory is /etc/twoftpd/, the twoftpd-anon service
+directory is /etc/twoftpd-anon/. The installation of this package
+automatically adds the twoftpd service to runit's service supervision
+through the update-service(8) program. Please see the documentation of
+the runit package on how this works.
+
+To enable the twoftpd-anon anonymous ftp service, just run the
+update-service(8) program manually, e.g.
+
+ # update-service --add /etc/twoftpd-anon
+
+Note that you cannot run the default twoftpd and twoftpd-anon services
+simultaneously unless you specify separate IP addresses or ports for the
+services to listen on. To do so, edit the corresponding run scripts
+/etc/twoftpd/run and /etc/twoftpd-anon/run.
+
+The twoftpd-run package provides the virtual package ``ftp-server'' and
+conflicts with other packages providing ``ftp-server''. This ensures that
+twoftpd is the only service that listens on the address 0.0.0.0:21 on a
+system, and also satisfies packages that depend on a running ftp service.
+The twoftpd package without the twoftpd-run package can be installed
+alongside other ftp-server packages on a system, e.g. to provide different
+ftp services on different addresses simultaneously.
