One thing I don't get, though....

I've tried this basic routine before, but always had problems with the 
locally built package being overwritten by the one from the repository 
on the next 'apt-get upgrade'. Is there an easy way to avoid that? So 
far, I've only been able to do it by adding a ".1" to the version number 
in the debian/Changelog file.
