+==== Building a Debian package from an sc2mpd tar distribution
+
+Here follows a synopsis of building a debian package for an sc2mpd tar
+distribution. You'll need to replace the 1.1.1 and 20151223 versions with
+whatever you are building. Note that the 1.1.1 value must match what you
+have in the Debian changelog (or update the changelog).
+
+The $distdir and $sc2mpd_src values stand for places where you store the tar
+files and the sc2mpd (git) source tree.
