The Debian package of propellor ships its full source code because
propellor is configured by rebuilding it, and embraces modification of any
of the source code.
/usr/bin/propellor is a wrapper which will set up a propellor git
repository in ~/.propellor/, and run ~/.propellor/propellor if it exists.
Edit ~/.propellor/config.hs to configure it.
Note that upgrading the propellor package will not update your
~/.propellor/ repository. This is because you may have local changes
to the source, or may need to adapt your config.hs to work with the new
version of propellor. Instead, if your ~/.propellor/ is from an older
version of propellor, /usr/bin/propellor will warn that it's out of date,
and tell you how to merge in the changes.
