+circlator for Debian
+-------------------
+
+The circlator package currently bundles bio_assembly_refinement,
+another Python package that does not warrant independent packaging.
+Circlator upstream declared an intent to bundle the necessary parts
+of it in an eventual release of Circlator, while the author of
+bio_assembly_refinement confirmed that it does not warrant an
+independent package [1].
+
+This package is thus currently built using multi-upstream tarballs.
+The secondary tarball is checked into the pristine-tar branch, but
+gbp will probably not handle it automatically for you.
+You can pull it out with pristine-tar checkout.
+It must be extracted into the top source directory with the
+extracted folder renamed as "bioassemblyrefinement".
+The compressed tarball should be placed next to the primary tarball
+in the source's parent directory.
+
+1. See the thread beginning at
+   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2016/03/msg00031.html
