NAME

       deb-extra-override - Debian archive extra override file

SYNOPSIS

       override

DESCRIPTION

       While most information about a binary/source package can be found in the control/.dsc file, all of it can
       be overridden when it's exported to Packages/Sources  files.  The  extra  override  file  contains  those
       overrides.

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

            package field-name value

       package is the name of the binary/source package.

       field-name is the name of the field that is overridden.  value is the value to put in the field.  It  can
       contain spaces as the line is split in no more than 3 columns when it's parsed.

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