Comments are +allowed (denoted with a +B<#>). + +=over + +I +I +I
+[I] + +=back + +I +is the name of the package. Entries in the override file for packages +not found in the tree of binary packages are ignored. + +I +and +I
+correspond to the respective control fields available in the .deb. The +allowed values are specific to each distribution archive. + +I, +if present, can be either the name of a maintainer for an unconditional +override, or else +I +B<=E> +I +to perform a substitution. + +The override files used to make the official Packages lists may be found +in the +I +directory on any Debian mirror. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +B(1), +B(1), +B(1). -- cgit v1.2.3
