Are you installing 1.4.4 from source? If you are, you have a few 
options. You could use equivs, a tool which allows you to create fake, 
placeholder packages. checkinstall might also work. This might break 
programs from the main repository that use gnupg, however, since they 
may be depending upon a specific version.

Alternatively, you could install GnuPG  1.4.4 in /usr/local, which is 
probably the default of the source package anyway. In that way, you will 
have both 1.4.2 and 1.4.4 installed. This is most likely the best option.

If you are not installing from source, it would be very helpful if you 
could tell us what you are using to install 1.4.4.
