SYNOPSIS

9       override
10

DESCRIPTION

12       While  most  information  about a binary/source package can be found in
13       the control/.dsc file, all of it can be overriden when it's exported to
14       Packages/Sources  files.  The  extra override file contains those over‐
15       rides.
16
17       The extra override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format.  Com‐
18       ments are allowed (denoted with a #).
19
20            package field-name value
21
22       package is the name of the binary/source package.
23
24       field-name  is  the  name of the field that is overriden.  value is the
25       value to put in the field. It can contain spaces as the line  is  split
26       in no more than 3 columns when it's parsed.
27
28       The  extra  override files used to make the official Packages lists may
29       be found in the indices directory on any Debian mirror.
