+Description
+===========
+
+The OpenBMC debugtools tarball clashes with the filesystem layout of
+witherspoon systems, and contains a number of other outstanding issues with
+respect to the tools it deploys. The debug script here documents and executes
+the workarounds necessary to make it functional.
+
+Usage
+-----
+```
+./debug [USER@]HOST TARBALL
+```
+
+For example:
+
+```
+$ ./debug root@my-witherspoon obmc-phosphor-debug-tarball-witherspoon.tar.xz
+```
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The script will:
+
+1. Ensure `/usr/local` is a tmpfs mountpoint (may not be if system is
+   configured for Field Mode)
+2. Deploy the debugtools tarball to `/usr/local`
+3. Make `perf(1)` work by
+   1. Installing a fake `expand(1)` if necessary
+   2. Fixing the `objdump(1)` symlink
+   3. Disabling `perf(1)`'s buildid tracking (fills the RW filesystem)
+4. Make `latencytop(1)` work by deploying and symlinking libncurses{,w}.so
