+Internal Debian archive operations
+----------------------------------
+
+Packages should be uploaded to: 
+
+    alberti.torproject.org:/srv/db.torproject.org/ftp-archive/archive/pool/tpo-all/
+
+Then to install the packages:
+
+    ssh alberti.tpo make -C /srv/db.torproject.org/ftp-archive
+
+This might require fixing some permissions. Do a `chmod g+w` on the
+broken directories if this happens and open a ticket if it does, to
+create a service account instead of that hack.
