+=head1 NAME
+
+deb-extra-override - Debian archive extra override file
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<override>
+
+=head1 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
+B<#>).
+
+=over
+
+I<package>
+I<field-name>
+I<value>
+
+=back
+
+I<package>
+is the name of the binary/source package.
+
+I<field-name>
+is the name of the field that is overridden.
+
+I<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
+I<indices>
+directory on any Debian mirror.
