correct - the main reason for override directories is to allow different
types of clients to layer files on top of a shared image.
for example, you can have an image X, with corresponding scripts X-ide
and X-scsi.  however, fstab and lilo.conf need to be different for each
image, since one will need to reference hda, the other sda.
so, the override directory for X-ide would contain the versions that
reference hda, while X-ide's override directory would contain config files
that reference sda.

you can have multiple override directories pulled during an install, and
there's no reason some of your configs can't share a set of these
override directories.
