In Debian, you can tell dpkg (or apt?) to "hold" a package, which will 
cause the package manager to skip it on operations:

           A package marked to be on hold is kept on the same version,
           that is, no automatic new installs, upgrades or removals will
           be performed on them, unless these actions are requested
           explicitly, or are permitted to be done automatically with the
           --force-hold option.

It would be great to have this for the case of manually updated packages 
like this one.
