+This kexec-tools package was built from kexec-tools git repository at
+<git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/horms/kexec-tools.git>.
+
+Installing this package also installs two init scripts under /etc/init.d -
+kexec-load and kexec. kexec-load is called upon reboot to load a new kexec
+kernel if kexec is enabled in /etc/default/kexec. kexec script is called
+just before reboot script. It checks if kexec is enabled and a
+kexec'able kernel is loaded. If yes, it kexecs a new kernel instead of
+reboot. As a result, kexec is automatically enabled upon installation of
+kexec-tools package if kexec is enabled in /etc/default/kexec through debconf
+option.
