NAME
       deb-override - Debian archive override file

SYNOPSIS
       override

DESCRIPTION
       While  most  information  about  a  package can be found in the control file, some must be
       filled in by the distribution czars rather than by the maintainer, because they relate  to
       the  arrangement  of files for release rather than the actual dependencies and description
       of the package.  This information is found in the override file.

       The override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format. Comments are allowed  (denoted
       with a #).

            package priority section [maintainerinfo]

       package is the name of the package. Entries in the override file for packages not found in
       the tree of binary packages are ignored.

       priority and section place the package within the release tree;  these  ought  not  to  be
       found  in  the  control file. If the package is found in a subdirectory of binarydir, that
       will be checked against section.

       maintainerinfo, if present, can be either the name of a maintainer  for  an  unconditional
       override, or else oldmaintainer => newmaintainer to perform a substitution.

       The  override  files  used to make the official Packages lists may be found in the indices
       directory on any Debian mirror.
