+      FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is an interface for userspace programs to
+      export a filesystem to the Linux kernel. The FUSE project consists of two
+      components: The fuse kernel module (maintained in the regular kernel
+      repositories) and the libfuse userspace library (this package). libfuse
+      provides the reference implementation for communicating with the FUSE
+      kernel module.
