 this ensures that we 'Only keep modified files under SVN control'

+6. Versioning
+-------------
+
+As the autobuilder and fellow developers will need to differentiate between
+versions that are uploaded into debian already and those which will be at a
+later point, do use the UNRELEASED distribution until the time you actually do
+upload to incoming. Whoever is not a DD himself should let the sponsor do that
+final step if that sponsor has SVN commit rights to the pkg-voip archive.
+
+The autobuilder packs can be found at http://kde-extras.buildserver.net/.
+The logs can be found at http://status.buildserver.net/.
+
+As the archive runs britney, it may well be that a built and installed package
+is not appearing to the archive until its reverse depends are (re)built too. In
+case of questions, feel free to mail kilian at debian.org.
+
+7. Automatic Backport hooks
+---------------------------
+
+The checkout script for putting together the sources can run a backports hook
+for certain dists (like Debian sarge) which need certain adjustments to the
+source like altered Build-Depends. This hook is a plain shell script (or
+makefile like debian/rules) which needs to be put in the debian/backports
+directory and made executable by means of the svn properties set. The codenames
+for the current dists are: sid, etch, sarge, edgy and dapper. For an example
+see asterisk-addons/trunk/debian/backports/sarge which may be more illustrating
+what to do.
