+Altree for Debian
+=================
+
+Despite the fact that at the Altree Homepage
+
+   http://claire.bardel.free.fr/software.html
+
+a newer version than the Debian packaged version 1.0.1 is
+available (the download area
+
+   http://claire.bardel.free.fr/files/
+
+even has version 1.1.1 while homepage says 1.1.0) the upstream author
+has asked the Debian Med team to not package this version:
+
+   http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2009/08/msg00104.html
+
+Despite frequent pings we are not really sure whether this remains
+the case and thjus we would like to ask you as the user to verify
+the newer version with your data and report back whether it might
+be helpful for you to also have the new altree version.  Just send
+a bug report using `reportbug altree` to give us a notice.
