@@ -23,14 +23,6 @@ This program is merely a wrapper around L<dpkg-gencontrol(1)>, which calls
 it once for each package being acted on, and passes in some additional
 useful flags including "-isp". 
 
-Note that L<dpkg-gencontrol(1)> expands certian substirution variables
-when generating the control file (for details, see its man page). Those
-variables are typically generated by L<dh_shlibdeps(1)> and like programs.
-However, if you want to specify some of your own manually, you may do so,
-by creating files named debian/package.substvars (where package is the
-package these variables apply to). The files should be of the same form
