If you consider one of your packages to be unsuitable for a stable release,
you should ensure that it has a release critical (serious, grave or critical)
bug to stop it from propagating to testing automatically. In this case it'd be
appropriate to file a bug against version 1.3.1, "mongodb: 1.3.x unsuitable
for stable in maintainer's opinion", then close it in version 1:1.2.x
(assuming you use epochs as someone else suggested).
I see mongodb has accumulated high-severity bugs at an impressive rate
already, though, so it's in no immediate danger of migrating...
