+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.

+Both ways are supported by the configure script.
