+Building a debian package
+-------------------------
+
+SWUpdate is thought for Embedded Systems and building in an embedded
+distribution is the first use case. But apart the most used buildsystems
+for embedded as Yocto or Buildroot, in some cases a standard Linux distro
+is used. Not only, a distro package allows to run SWUpdate on Linux PC
+for test purposes without having to fight with dependencies. Using the
+debhelper tools, it is possible to generate a debian package.
