Description ulfalizer 2016-08-23 13:30:00 UTC 
...to clean it up a tiny bit to make it consistent with the other *OVERRIDE* variables and link back to OVERRIDES:

  DISTROOVERRIDES:
    A colon-separated list of overrides specific to the current distribution.
    By default, this list includes the value of DISTRO.
  
    You can extend DISTROOVERRIDES to add extra overrides that should apply to
    the distribution.
  
    The underlying mechanism behind DISTROOVERRIDES is simply that it is included
    in the default value of [OVERRIDES].


Cheers,
Ulf

Small nit: It'd make sense to linkify "DISTRO" in the description too.

Cheers,
