### [alexmurray](https://launchpad.net/~alexmurray)

Traditionally the docker.io source package contained both the
library and docker application. However, in releases that
contain the
docker.io-app source package, the docker.io source package
contains only
the library whilst the docker application itself is contained
in the
docker.io-app package.
