apt-get problems

I just compiled kernel 2.2.17 today with the kernel-package tools. I
installed the resulting kernel-image-2.2.17_custom1.0_i386.deb with
dpkg -i.

Everything is OK. Now, as soon as I apt-get
update && apt-get dist-upgrade, apt wants to install a newer version
of kernel-2.2.17 (kernel-image-2.2.17-1). I don't want that. I just
spent a lot of time customizing and tailoring my kernel to my
needs, and I don't feel like replacing it by a stock kernal and have a lot
of things break down upon reboot.

How do I prevent apt from upgrading my kernel
package ? I looked into dpkg's MAN pages, and there is something about
putting a package on HOLD to prevent update. This is what I would want to
do. 

I must've recompiled 2.2.16 at least 10 times using the same method
(kernel-package), and apt never tried to update my kernel on me before.

Any tips ? This is dribing me nuts. I can't do a succesful apt-get
dist-upgrade anymore, since apt wants to install 2.2.17-1 everytime.

Thanks !
