+This packages behaves a bit wierdly inside Scratchbox 1, by design.
+
+When building it with dpkg-buildpackage or equivalent, it will disable
+all devkits and adjust PATH. This means that almost all build
+dependencies will come from your installed packages, and not from
+Scratchbox or the configured devkits.
+
+Since some of our packages do not work with Scratchboxes fakeroot
+(because the latter is too old), you should use the targets fakeroot
+instead.
+
+You can disable this behavior by setting SBOX_DONT_SANITIZE in the
+environment.
+
+When this package is build in a certain buildbot, it will go further
+and permantly change the Scratchbox target. This should not happen to
+anyone but the buildbot, but there is a chance it will happen to you
+by accident.
+
+The buildbot is recognized via the $USER environment variable. If it
+matches "bifh[0-9]", the permanent changes will be done.
+
+The permanent changes mostly consist of running apt-get dist-upgrade
+and making sure that the targets fakeroot is used.
+
+This weirdness is brought to you by:
