+=========================================
+ The Firefox for Android install bouncer
+=========================================
+
+`Bug 1234629 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234629>`_ and `Bug 1163082
+<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163082>`_ combine to allow building a very small
+Fennec-like "bouncer" APK that redirects (bounces) a potential Fennec user to the marketplace of
+their choice -- usually the Google Play Store -- to install the real Firefox for Android application
+APK.
+
+The real APK should install seamlessly over top of the bouncer APK.  Care is taken to keep the
+bouncer and application APK <permission> manifest definitions identical, and to have the bouncer APK
+<activity> manifest definitions look similar to the application APK <activity> manifest definitions.
+
+In addition, the bouncer APK can carry a Fennec distribution, which it copies onto the device before
+redirecting to the marketplace.  The application APK recognizes the installed distribution and
+customizes itself accordingly on first run.
+
+The motivation is to allow partners to pre-install the very small bouncer APK on shipping devices
+and to have a smooth path to upgrade to the full application APK, with a partner-specific
+distribution in place.
+
+Technical details
+=================
+
+To build the bouncer APK, define ``MOZ_ANDROID_PACKAGE_INSTALL_BOUNCER``.  To pack a distribution
+into the bouncer APK (and *not* into the application APK), add a line like::
+
+  ac_add_options --with-android-distribution-directory=/path/to/fennec-distribution-sample
+
+to your ``mozconfig`` file.  See the `general distribution documentation on the wiki
+<https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Distribution_Files>`_ for more information.
+
+The ``distribution`` directory should end up in the ``assets/distribution`` directory of the bouncer
+APK.  It will be copied into ``/data/data/$ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME/distribution`` when the bouncer
+executes.
