The best way to tackle this is to use APT's pin facility. I don't have a full explanation to
hand, but google "Pin Debian packages for Apt" will show you how.
Another way:
echo package hold | dpkg --set-selections
but not ideal, nor is apt-pinning, if you got multiple users for your
deb. Every user must do that manually and at some stage later the
hold/pin will probably need manually reverting. Renaming solves the
problem cleanly.
