+Introduction
+============
+
+This is the Debian package repository of Koumbit. It is used for internal
+distribution of locally built packages not yet part of Debian. Feel free to use
+it for yourself, but it comes at no warranty, see http://wiki.koumbit.net/Beta
+for more information.
+
+How to use
+==========
+
+In your /etc/apt/source.list:
+
+deb http://debian.koumbit.net/debian lenny main
+deb-src http://debian.koumbit.net/debian lenny main
+
+"lenny", of course, can be replaced by your distribution. Know that we usually
+package straight for etch or lenny. Packages will likely not be available in
+squeeze or sid.
+
+Adding the archive key to your keyring
+--------------------------------------
+
+This archive self-signs packages uploaded to it (and packages uploaded are
+verified against a whitelist of trusted uploaders) using OpenPGP (GnuPG, to be
+more precise).
+
+The key of the archive is in the key.asc file above, and it is signed with
+another key you may be able to find a path to in key.asc.asc.
+
+So in short, you should add the key using something like this:
+
+wget http://debian.koumbit.net/debian/key.asc
+wget http://debian.koumbit.net/debian/key.asc.asc
+gpg -v key.asc.asc && apt-key add key.asc
+apt-get update
