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 overridden when  it's  exported
14       to  Packages/Sources  files.  The  extra  override  file contains those
15       overrides.
16
17       The extra override  file  has  a  simple  whitespace-delimited  format.
18       Comments 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 overridden.  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.
