+.SH NAME
+deb\-override \- Debian archive override file
+.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+override
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+While most information about a package can be found in the control file,
+some is managed centrally by the distribution czars rather than by the
+maintainer in order to offer some global consistency.
+This information is found in the override file.
+.PP
+The override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format. Comments are
+allowed (denoted with a
+.BR # ).
+.PP
+.in +5
+.I package
+.I priority
+.I section
+.RI [ maintainerinfo ]
+.in -5
+.PP
+.I package
+is the name of the package. Entries in the override file for packages
+not found in the tree of binary packages are ignored.
+.PP
+.I priority
+and
+.I section
+correspond to the respective control fields available in the .deb. The
+allowed values are specific to each distribution archive.
+.PP
+.IR maintainerinfo ,
+if present, can be either the name of a maintainer for an unconditional
+override, or else
+.I oldmaintainer
+.B =>
+.I newmaintainer
+to perform a substitution.
+.PP
+The override files used to make the official Packages lists may be found
+in the
+.I indices
+directory on any Debian mirror.
