Subject: overriding debian repositories

Hi all.

I'm running debian stable (Lenny), and have apt-build installed. In my
sources.list, I have:
deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main
I've built a package using apt-build, and have it installed. However,
when I run apt-get dist-upgrade, I'm told that the package I built
locally needs to be upgraded. Does anyone know if there is a way to
override the debian sources for package x, using the apt-build
repository instead?

My solution for now is to put that package on hold, but I would prefer
to override the official repos with apt-build, if that's
possible. Yes, before anyone asks, I have run apt-get update, so the
apt system knows everything there is to know about available sources
of packages. Thanks for any help in advance.

Greg

P.S. The entry for apt-build is at the bottom of sources.list. I tried
putting it as the first entry, and running apt-get update, but there's
no
difference.
