googleearth-package
-------------------

To use this package, run the 'make-googleearth-package' command. This will
download Google Earth, and create a Debian package (.deb file) of its contents.

The Debian package can be installed with the command 'dpkg --install'.

Keep in mind that Google Earth itself is a binary-only, proprietary program;
it's use is at your own risk. This package builder has no control over the
behavior of Google Earth itself. If you experience video problems, crashes, or
other bugs, your only hope is probably the Google Earth Community or the
Google Earth Help site.

Note that this package itself is "Architecture: all", but generated packages
will currently only work on x86 systems because Google Earth itself is only
an i386 binary. Bulding on amd64 and ia64 is done via ia32-libs, which is
a pretty big hack, and generates packages that lie about their architecture,
but this seems to be what many people want, so it is now supported without
needing the --force option.
