+=head1 NAME
+
+libdpkg - Debian package manager C library
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<libdpkg> C library provides functions and infrastructure for the dpkg
+tool set, and external projects that need to integrate tightly with it.
+
+The library provides a L<pkgconf(1)> entry named I<libdpkg>.
+
+B<Warning>: The API provided by this library is highly volatile, still in
+the process of being cleaned up. It is only supposed to be used internally
+by dpkg for now. Header files, functions, variables and types might get
+renamed, removed or change semantics. If you still have a need to use it,
+which you would be doing anyway, say by locally building dpkg to get the
+library, then define the C preprocessor macro LIBDPKG_VOLATILE_API in your
+build to acknowledge that fact.
+
+Due to the currently API volatility, only a static library is provided.
