-The following packages are built from the wxWindows CVS source.
+The following packages are built from the wxWidgets CVS source.
 
-libwxgtk2.1    wxGTK shared library
-libwxgtk-dev   Headers and static lib for building wxGTK apps
+libwxgtk               wxGTK runtime shared libraries
+libwxgtk-dev           extra files and static libs for building wxGTK apps
+libwxgtk-dbg           wxGTK libraries built with -g and __WXDEBUG__
+
+libwxgtk-python                Python binding to wxGTK  (from 2.2.3 onward, this
+                       obsoletes the libwxgtk-python-contrib package as
+                       all python modules are built into a single monolith)
+
+libwxgtk-contrib       wxWin contrib runtime shared libs (built with wxGTK)
+libwxgtk-contrib-dev   extra files and static contrib libs for building apps
+
+wx-headers             common header files for building wxWidgets apps
+wx-doc                 HTML version of the wxWidgets manual
+wx-examples            wxWidgets and wxPython demos and samples (source)
+wx-i18n                        message catalogs for native language support
+
+
+       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.
+
+       [ you can check the current state of affairs at:
+         http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=wxwidgets2.5 ]
+
+       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.
+
+libwxmsw-dev           mingw32-cross wxMSW libs.
+libwxmsw-dbg           mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs.
+wx-headers-msw         extra headers needed for wxMSW.
+
+       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)
+
+
+       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.
