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.
