+Notes on the version history of the PALO sources in Debian
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The upstream palo sources diverted from the Debian package source
+beginning with version 1.16. After the hppa port was brought back
+to live, the upstream git repository found a new home at kernel.org
+where it is now maintained by Helge Deller at:
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/deller/palo.git
+
+The current Debian package of palo is now based on Helge's work
+and the Debian changelog tracks the source version history
+of the new branch, starting from version 1.16. The changelog
+entries for the previous version in Debian have therefore
+been removed.
