-This package contains xinit, the X Window System initializer.
+The xinit program is used to start the X Window System server and a
+first client program on systems that are not using a display manager
+such as xdm.
+
+The xinit is not intended for naive users. Instead, site administrators
+should design user-friendly scripts that present the desired interface
+when starting up X. The startx script is one such example.
