+The KiCad project is proud to announce the latest series 5 stable
+release of KiCad.  The 5.1.4 stable version contains critical bug
+fixes and other minor improvements since the 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 releases.
+It also includes improved footprint, symbol, and 3D model libraries,
+translations, and documentation.  A list of all of the fixed bugs
+since the 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 releases can be found on the
+https://launchpad.net/kicad/+milestone/5.1.3[KiCad 5.1.3 milestone page]
+and the https://launchpad.net/kicad/5.0/5.1.4[KiCad 5.1.4 milestone page].
+This release contains several critical bug fixes so please consider
+upgrading as soon as possible.
+
+If you are wondering why there was no "official" 5.1.3 release,
+there was a serious issue after 5.1.3 was tagged and some users
+had downloaded the unreleased 5.1.3 builds from the KiCad build
+server.  The only way to prevent install conflicts was to create
+a new 5.1.4 tag with the bug fix and spin new builds.  The KiCad
+project would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may
+have caused.
+
+
+Version 5.1.4 is made from the
+https://code.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/+git/product-git/+ref/5.1[lp:kicad/5.1]
+branch with some cherry picked changes from the development branch.
+
+Packages for Windows, MacOS, and Linux are available or will be
+in the very near future.  See the
+link:/download[KiCad download page] for guidance.
+
+Thank you to all developers, packagers, librarians, document writers,
+translators, and everyone else who helped make this release possible.

-== Debian Stable (Stretch)
+== Basic Information
 
-{{< repology debian_stable_backports >}}
+The information further down about the available KiCad packages might not
+always be fully up to date and correct due ongoing development. For getting an
+overview about the current most recent version for the KiCad packages within
+the various Debian releases please have a look at
+https://packages.debian.org/search?lang=en&keywords=kicad[package.debian.org].
 
-{{< repology debian_stable >}}
+Please note that Debian stable releases don't get updates for existing
+packages except security updates. Packages within the Stable releases usually
+get newer and recent versions through backports repositories. KiCad is
+here no special case.
 
-The release 4.0.5 is available for Debian
-https://packages.debian.org/stretch/kicad[stable/stretch], the backported
-version 5.0.1 is available in
-https://packages.debian.org/stretch-backports/kicad[stretch-backports].
+To be able to install versions from a official Debian Backport repository you
+need to extend your `sources.list` configuration if not yet happen. If you are
+running Debian Buster please create a file
+`/etc/apt/sources.lists.d/buster-backports.list` if you don't have an similar
+entry already.
 
-You can install it with the following commands in a terminal, otherwise you can
-use any of the package managers you like:
+[source,bash]
+----
+# /etc/apt/sources.lists.d/buster-backports.list
+deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main contrib non-free
+----
+
+If your system is still running Debian Stretch create a similar file (if not
+done somehow already or created by the installer similar)
+`/etc/apt/sources.lists.d/stretch-backports.list`
+like above except the content is pointing to stretch-backports.
 
 [source,bash]
+----
+# /etc/apt/sources.lists.d/stretch-backports.list
+deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free
+----
+
+Once you've added one of these files you need to update the database of the
+package managing system so your preferred package manager is knowing about
+the new added source and the package versions from there.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
 sudo apt update
+----
+
+For more information about backports you might want to visit the Debian Wiki
+site about https://wiki.debian.org/Backports[Backports] and / or also the
+https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/[Backports website].
+
+=== Other KiCad related packages and their relations
+
+For more flexibility the various KiCad packages are provided by also various
+binary packages you might want need to install beside the `kicad` main package
+that is containing the KiCad applications. For example there are existing
+dedicated packages for the footprints, symbols, templates and 3D-models and
+also KiCad documentation related packages which aren't necessarily
+automatically get installed (depends on the configuration of your system) if
+you install the `kicad` package.
+
+If you are looking for all KiCad related packages you can search for them
+simply by your preferred package manager tool, e.g. by `apt`.
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+sudo apt search kicad*
+----
+
+For a useful working with KiCad you will need to have installed the following
+packages: `kicad` and `kicad-libraries` and sometimes also the package
+`kicad-demos`.
+Typically these packages get installed automatically if you haven't changed the
+system default on installing of recommended packages. Please don't install the
+package `kicad-common` directly, it's a transitional package and will go away,
+it can get removed if you've installed this.
+
+You can get more information about the relation between the various `kicad`
+packages in Debian please have a look at a graphic on the
+https://wiki.debian.org/KiCad[Debian wiki page] for KiCad packages.
