This package is not directly based on the original IRAF tarball, but
on a fork created by Ole Streicher. Deviations from the original code
are not Debian specific and include bugfixes, removal of non-free
code, and code cleanup. All changes that are not Debian specific are
proposed as pull requests on the IRAF github repository
https://github.com/iraf/iraf-v216

Debian specific adoptions made in the Debian package include:

* The directory structur is changed according to the FHS

    /usr/lib/iraf/                 - IRAF root dir ($iraf)
    /etc/iraf/login.cl	           - Default login script

* The binaries are in bin/ subdirs (without arch dependent extension)

* The user commands are installed in /usr/bin/, but cl/ecl had to be
  renamed to "irafcl", and is extended to optionally start the terminal

     irafcl                  - starts IRAF ecl in the current window
     sgidispatch	     - execute named sgi translator

* The SPP, Fortran and C source code is not included in the binary
  packages.

* The VO functionality (vocl, VO package) is not included.
