If thereare one or more packages I don't want to install, I press 'N'. Then
I start aptitude with no parameters, select the package, and (1) "forbid"
installation of that version by pressing 'F'; or (2) "hold" the package by
pressing '='. Repeat as desired.

At that prompt, I think it's all or nothing.
