 	  exFAT filesystem utilities.
 
+	  This is the set of user-space utilities that go together
+	  with the FUSE-based exfat driver from package/exfat.
+
+	  If you're using the exfat driver from the official Linux
+	  kernel (merged as of Linux 5.7), you must use the user-space
+	  utilities from package/exfatprogs.
