+long_desc="
+ The binfmt_misc kernel module, contained in versions 2.1.43 and later of the
+ Linux kernel, allows system administrators to register interpreters for
+ various binary formats based on a magic number or their file extension, and
+ cause the appropriate interpreter to be invoked whenever a matching file is
+ executed. Think of it as a more flexible version of the \#! executable
+ interpreter mechanism.
+
+ This package provides an 'update-binfmts' script with which package
+ maintainers can register interpreters to be used with this module without
+ having to worry about writing their own init scripts, and which sysadmins
+ can use for a slightly higher-level interface to this module."
