I forgot to mention. The recommended workaround that I tell my
users who want to build e.g. a custom package that pkgin will ignore
for updates is to change the PKGPATH, as then pkgin will consider
the remote package to be a different package and will not replace
it.
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.
