- From dpkg-scanpackages(8):

THE OVERRIDE FILE
       While most information about a package can be found in the
       control file, some must be filled in by  the  distribution
       czars  rather  than by the maintainer, because they relate
       to the arrangement of files for release  rather  than  the
       actual  dependencies and description of the package.  This
       information is found in the override file.

In other words, it allows ftp masters to override some of the values in your 
debian/control if need be. For a personal apt source like yours, you can 
safely ignore it. I actually specify /dev/null as the override file in my 
script :)
