+	  Important: The package is ancient and deprecated.
+
+	  It largely contains code using proprietary APIs to interface
+	  to the VideoCore firmware. It has since moved to standard
+	  linux APIs.
+
+	  V4L2, DRM/KMS and Mesa are the APIs you should be using.
+
+	  The few useful tools from here (dtoverlay, dtmerge,
+	  vcmailbox, vcgencmd) have been moved to the package rpi-utils.
