I think the procedure is to file a bug report against ftp.debian.org
asking that the override entry be changed for the package.
If this doesn't work, talk to the release manager.
If all of the above fails, come back here ;-).
When the override entry is changed, the next upload of the package
should have debian/control adjusted as required. (or should this come
first?)
(Disclaimer: I haven't done this myself).
