[pacman-dev] alpm-hooks: OVERRIDING HOOKS

[Sean Enck]

I figured that it was spelled out somewhere...it is more that whatever that
one-way doc pattern was going to be (pacman.conf -> alpm-hooks) makes the
context for understanding the "OVERRIDING HOOKS" section tougher to consume
from alpm-hooks (e.g. there is no "See Also: pacman.conf").
