+When installing Search::Xapian, make sure the underlying Xapian
+installation is not affected by an index corruption bug:
+
+ https://bugs.debian.org/808610
+
+For Debian 8.x (jessie), this means using Debian 8.5 or later.
+
+public-inbox will never store unregeneratable data in Xapian
+or any other search database we might use; Xapian corruption
+will not destroy critical data.
