+       You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target
+       in debian/rules.
+
+
+       It is also possible to build a libwxgtk-dbg-python package.
+       There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed
+       concurrently with the release version), but some developers may
+       find such a thing useful in any case.  It will transparently
+       replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the
+       release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages
+       for upload.  This package may be created from the source using the
+       binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules.  (note that doing this will
+       also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they
+       cannot coexist there either yet)

-libwxgtk-univ          wxUniversal for Gtk.  NOTE this package is obsolete
-                       and will be replaced by wxX11 and wxX11-univ at
-                       some future time.
+       Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to
+       build, the source package supports the use of distcc.  The package
+       builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts
+       you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS.  This will work for both native
+       and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant
+       compilers on all your build hosts.  wxPython builds cannot be
+       parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of
+       your configuration.
