This won't work.
The next time you run apt it'll see that the md5sum of the installed
xxx does not match the md5sum of the package available via
sources.list and it'll reinstall the official package.
Either set this package on hold or increment the version in
debian/changelog a *little* bit (append 0.0.1).
