+Description: Open vSwitch bridge compatibility support
+ openvswitch-brcompat provides a way for applications that use the
+ Linux bridge to gradually migrate to Open vSwitch. Programs that
+ ordinarily control the Linux bridge module, such as "brctl", instead
+ control the Open vSwitch kernel-based switch.
+ .
+ Once this package is installed, adding BRCOMPAT=yes in
+ /etc/default/openvswitch-switch enables bridge compatibility.
+ .
+ Open vSwitch is a full-featured software-based Ethernet switch.
