 kmer-tools for Debian
 ---------------------
 
-<this file describes information about the source package, see Debian policy
-manual section 4.14. You WILL either need to modify or delete this file>
+This package uses the mt19937ar random number generator [1] and includes a
+copy in the source distribution in libutils/mt19937ar. It is a modified
+version, but the vanilla package does not appear to be available in Debian
+either. The developers of mt19937ar have a whole suite of
+implementations [2-3], and only some of them appear to be in Debian. For now,
+the bundled copy has been left alone and is used to build this package.
