So will this mean that if your packages match the overrides file, the line
in the overrides file will be removed?

That'd be nice. Very nice. I understand why the ftpadmins need the overrides
file, but I think most of us are capable of making their packages be in the
right section and priority, and then the overrides file isn't needed for
them (and they can change section and priority w/o bothering the ftpadmin
people).
