Do as Ubuntu does: append a "tomas1" to the revision of the package, so 
it will look newer than the hoary one but still upgraded when breezy 
comes out.

If you really want to freeze that package, fire up synaptic, find your 
package, and in the "Package" menu, ask him to do so.

If you like fixing packages, you should really consider joining the 
MOTU. ;-)
