+If you use grep-dctrl in a Debian package, you should depend on the
+grep-dctrl package and heed the following compatibility notes:
+
+ * Always call only the "grep-dctrl" executable.
+ Although the "grep-status" and "grep-available" symlinks
+ are installed by default, this may change in the future.
+ Those symlinks are meant for manual - not scripted - use.
+
+ * Always specify an explicit file name
+ Don't rely on the implicit file name feature. The system
+ administrator may have changed the default file name.
+
+ * Not all features have been with us in every version
+ Check if any of the features you use is mentioned in the
+ changelog. Use a versioned dependency on grep-dctrl, if it
+ is necessary.
