+Tools and scripts related to automated building of Debian packages and
+maintenance of an APT repository containing the result. At present,
+this is based on pbuilder and reprepro running on Ubuntu.
+
+This used to be part of the buildtools/ directory in the main
+repository, but the build automation isn't really tied to any
+particular branch, and now that it has to maintain packages from
+multiple branches it's less confusing to put it in its own little
+corner of the repository.
