 <p>
+Because %n-%v-%r is treated as the unique identifier of a package, you
+must not have the same <code>Package</code> (at the
+same <code>Version</code> and <code>Revision</code>) listed as
+a <code>SplitOff</code> (or <code>SplitOff<em>N</em></code>) of
+multiple packages. If you use variants, remember that each variant is
+considered an independent package, so the following package layout is
+forbidden:
+</p>
+<codeblock>
+Package: mime-base64-pm%type_pkg[perl]
+Type: perl (5.8.1 5.8.6)
+SplitOff: %lt;%lt;
+  Package: mime-base64-pm-bin
+%lt;%lt;
+</codeblock>
+<p>
 During the install phase, the <code>InstallScript</code> and 
 <code>DocFiles</code> of the parent package are executed first.
 Next comes processing of the <code>SplitOff</code> and <code>SplitOff<em>N</em></code> fields. For each such field in turn, the <code>Files</code> command causes the listed files and directories
