-cyrus-sasl for Debian
+Cyrus SASL for Debian
 ---------------------
 
-<possible notes regarding this package - if none, delete this file>
+SASL is the Simple Authentication and Security Layer, a method for adding
+authentication support to connection-based protocols. This is the Debian
+package of Cyrus SASL, which is an implementation of SASL by Carnegie Mellon
+University.
+
+The package stays as close as possible to the upstream version, but some
+changes have been introduced to fix known issues and to better integrate
+the software with the Debian system. For example, some command line utilities
+have been renamed with a "sasl" prefix, in order to avoid naming collisions.
+The software has been split into several packages, so a system administrator
+can choose what functionality to install and what to leave out.
+
+For more information about SASL, please see http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/, and
+for more information about Cyrus SASL, see
+http://asg.web.cmu.edu/sasl/sasl-library.html.
+
+The project information page http://pkg-cyrus-sasl2.alioth.debian.org/
+contains details about the Debian packaging project. All comments and bug
+reports are welcome, please use the Debian Bug Tracking System to submit them.
