+# Each component gets a directory of its own, named after the package's principal binary:
+# share/doc/jfjoch_broker, jfjoch_writer, jfjoch_viewer, jfjoch_driver_dkms. No two components
+# may write the same path, and no component writes the plain share/doc/jfjoch these all used to
+# share. Deployment updates the packages one at a time (jfjoch first, then jfjoch-writer), so a
+# path claimed by two packages blocks the first step as soon as a release changes its content -
+# and leaving the main package on the old shared path would keep blocking it for anyone
+# upgrading from a release that still had the collision. These notices were the only files any
+# two components had in common.
