+     The <literal/release/ command generates a Release file from a
+     directory tree. It recursively searches the given directory for
+     Packages, Packages.gz, Packages.bz2, Sources, Sources.gz,
+     Sources.bz2, Release and md5sum.txt files.  It then writes to
+     stdout a Release file containing an MD5 digest and SHA1 digest
+     for each file.
+     <para>
+     Values for the additional metadata fields in the Release file are
+     taken from the corresponding variables under
+     <literal/APT::FTPArchive::Release/,
+     e.g. <literal/APT::FTPArchive::Release::Origin/.  The supported fields
+     are: <literal/Origin/, <literal/Label/, <literal/Suite/,
+     <literal/Version/, <literal/Codename/, <literal/Date/,
+     <literal/Architectures/, <literal/Components/, <literal/Description/.
