You already have the answer you seek about dpkg-divert. It works well.
While your problem is certainly solved, I thought I'd throw out a suggestion
anyway. One thing I've done to help me keep track of where I am is to use
colorized prompts. Red is root, cyan is local user, purple is local user
with developer environment variables, green is remote, etc. It helps when
you have as many different terminal sessions open at one time as I do.
