 ### Stage 0: build a dh-virtualenv
 ###

+# This is only really needed on bionic and focal, since other distributions we
+# care about have a recent version of dh-virtualenv by default. Unfortunately,
+# it looks like focal is going to be with us for a while.
+#
+# (focal doesn't have a dh-virtualenv package at all. There is a PPA at
+# https://launchpad.net/~jyrki-pulliainen/+archive/ubuntu/dh-virtualenv, but
+# it's not obviously easier to use that than to build our own.)
