+BitSeq for Debian
+------------------
+
+Dealing with file names featuring script language extensions
+============================================================
+
+Debian policy does not permit script language extensions and this
+Wiki page
+   https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide#Language_extensions_in_scripts
+provides good reasons for it.
+
+Assuming that some users might have some scripts that are relying on
+this extension this package provides the following workaround:
+
+  1. Scripts with extensions are in
+        /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/
+  2. Scripts without the extension are linked to
+        /usr/bin
+
+So if you want to use the original script name just do the
+following:  Set the PATH variable like
+
+  export PATH=/usr/lib/debian-med/bin:$PATH
+
+This makes sure that scripts you are using will find the original script.
