 # $Id$
 
+# This is the X Strike Force shell library for X Window System package
+# maintainer scripts.  It serves to define shell functions commonly used by
+# such packages, and performs some error checking necessary for proper operation
+# of those functions.  By itself, it does not "do" much; the maintainer scripts
+# invoke the functions defined here to accomplish package installation and
+# removal tasks.
+
+# If you are reading this within a Debian package maintainer script (e.g.,
+# /var/lib/dpkg)info/PACKAGE.{config,preinst,postinst,prerm,postrm}), you can
+# skip past this library by scanning forward in this file to the string
+# "GOBSTOPPER".
