Please remember that there are people that don't read English in their
1st language. Not to mention translation overhead, understanding, the
context and other things that do not necessarily "open up" the same way.
I understood them to mean "makefile targets" (commands). Blame the
reader all you want, but semantics isn't clear cut. It would be more
explicit to help the reader to see it visually; at a glance.
override_<dh_commands>
or
override_DH_COMMAND
