+galaxium for Debian
+-------------------
+
+The Galaxium original tarball has been repackaged because it contained
+binary-only files. In particular, it contained libmimic.so, which should
+be used for Webcam communication over the MSN protocol. However, this part
+isn't still completed, and wasn't really used in 0.7.x, and probably will
+neither make it into 0.8.x.
+
+Agreed with upstream, I've removed libmimic.so from the tarball. If it will
+ever be used in future, it will be a shared library coming from a different
+package.
+
+To get the original source, do:
+
+debian/rules get-orig-source
+
+Have fun :)
