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 #).
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.

deb-override - Debian archive override file
SYNOPSIS
override
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.
The override file has a simple whitespace-delimited format. Comments are allowed (denoted with a #).
package priority section [maintainerinfo]
package is the name of the package. Entries in the override file for packages not found in the tree of binary packages are ignored.
priority and section correspond to the respective control fields available in the .deb. The allowed values are specific to each
distribution archive.
maintainerinfo, if present, can be either the name of a maintainer for an unconditional override, or else oldmaintainer => newmaintainer to
perform a substitution.
The 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).
