well, i know this. but the official mirror's pool/ tree has
duplicates in it, as all of potato, woody, and sid index into it. some
package version 2.0 might only be in woody while 1.3 exists in
potato... then pool/m/myprogram will exist in two version and the
Packages.gz file of the respective distro should include only the
appropriate version/package.

or is this what ./override is for? if not, what is *it's* purpose?
