 This package helps automate and ease the task of maintaining Debian
 packages by helping you, the Debian developer, take advantage of
 the unique features in Darcs.  The programs included are:
 .
 dbp-importdsc: Import an upstream version and a Debian version from
 a Debian source package, automatically detecting package and version
 information from the .dsc.
 .
 dbp-importorig: Import an upstream tar.gz or directory.
 .
 dbp-markdeb: Mark a working copy for future reference.
 .
 darcs-buildpackage: Builds a Debian package based on information in
 the repository, checking out Debian and upstream versions as
 necessary.
 .
 Also, the package includes a comprehensive 24-page manual in
 PostScript and
 HTML versions.

Debian developers may be interested to know that darcs-buildpackage is
written in Haskell.
