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  Pack-
     ages/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.

SEE ALSO
     dpkg-scanpackages(1), dpkg-scansources(1), apt-ftparchive(1).
