| 26 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 27 | While most information about a binary/source package can be found in the | |
| 28 | control/.dsc file, all of it can be overridden when it's exported to | |
| 29 | Packages/Sources files. The extra override file contains those overrides. | |
| 30 | .PP | |
| 31 | The extra override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format. Comments are | |
| 32 | allowed (denoted with a | |
| 33 | .BR # ). | |

| 44 | .I field\-name | |
| 45 | is the name of the field that is overridden. | |

| 51 | in the | |
