If you preserve "override_dh_" and replace "command"
you get something like override_dh_auto_install

If you preserve "override_" and replace "dh_command",
you get something like override_dh_auto_install

The man page seems clear to me that the override target needs to start
with "override_" and follow that with the name of the command that is
being overridden. So "override_auto_install" won't work; nor will
"override_dh_dh_auto_install".

I don't see how this suggestion adds any clarity.
