Only the specified binary package will be affected, each architecture in turn. Packages are copied out of pool/ into a temporary directory, removed and then replaced into the architecture concerned.

Overrides take place in the Packages file, not within the binary package itself - check the results by parsing the relevant Packages file, not using the output of dpkg -I $deb or other .deb tools.

Note that overrides will need to be enacted for the versions in testing as well, so repeat the process once you are happy with the effects.

Description

Overrides need to be updated from time to time so this script provides a way to implement overrides restrospectively.
