-       The following binaries can be built from the source package
-       with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not currently
-       distributed by Debian.  If you feel that should change,
-       please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or
-       append your views to a report already there if you're not
-       the first to do so.
+       Note that static libraries are no longer supplied in these
+       packages.  Please read, or have understood:
+       http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html
+       among others before reporting this as a bug.

+       The following binaries can be built from the source package
+       with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not distributed

-       Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages
-       to the Debian bts.  But do feel free to email me personally
-       if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them.

+       You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target
+       in debian/rules.
+
+
+       It is also possible to build a python-wxgtk-dbg 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)
+
+
+       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.
+       You may override that heuristic by setting the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL
+       environment variable to the number of jobs you wish make to fork.
+       That variable is also supported by the kernel-package scripts and
+       is respected for consistency here.
+
+       wxPython builds cannot be parallelised at this stage and will run
+       serially regardless of your configuration.
