So far as I can remember, I found the wiki page and dpkg manual pages
sufficient when I was adding support for build profiles in src:linux.

However, I can see it has changed since I last looked and now says that
"stage1" has been deprecated.  I don't understand why this is or how
we're supposed to give this hint to bootstrapping tools now.
