-libguestfs should build and run on Debian.
+libguestfs is now built as a package in Debian by Guido Gunther and
+the other Debian libvirt maintainers.  See:
+
+http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianLibvirtTeam#Packages

 
 

-febootstrap, yum, rpm, fakeroot, fakechroot are all packaged in
-Debian.
+You can build for Debian in two different ways, either building a
+Fedora-based appliance using febootstrap, yum, rpm, fakeroot,
+fakechroot (all packaged in Debian).  However the recommended way is
+to build a Debian-based appliance using debootstrap and debirf.

 
 

-Please see the fedora-virt mailing list for the status of libguestfs
-in Debian.
+Both ways are supported by the configure script.
