README for GNU Stow in Debian
-----------------------------
The most common way to use GNU Stow is to install your local packages in
/usr/local/stow/<package-name> and then use the stow command to install
symlinks into /usr/local. Previous versions of the Debian stow package,
when installed, creates the /usr/local/stow directory as a hint to new
system administrators on where to put things.
Alas, it appears that doing so violates FHS and Debian Policy 9.1.2 (see
bug #528023), so we are not doing that anymore. Take it upon yourself
to create /usr/local/stow yourself, and everything will be fine again.
