+We use dpatch for patch handling inside our package(s). Please see
+/usr/share/doc/dpatch/README.source.gz (if you have installed dpatch) for
+documentation about dpatch.
+
+Since Version 1.5.0 we are repackaging the upstream tarball to stop providing:
+
+ * perlmods/
+
+Therefor you should use the script debian/bin/repack.sh:
+
+ repack.sh <upstream-tarball>
+
+ This can also be automatically done with 'uscan --force-download'
+
+Creating a sufficiant tarball from latest git snapshot:
+
+* Install 'autoconf automake' beside the build-depends
+* Following RELEASING[1] you need
+ - cd /tmp/monitoringlug
+ - tools/setup
+ - ./configure
+ - make dist
