This sounds like a job for apt preferences. All you have to do is edit
/etc/apt/preferences [0] (Create it if it doesn't exist) and pin your
server to a higher value than the remote server.
I'm not sure how this would work out though, you'd probably have to
add some sort of flag to all of your local packages. Someone with more
experience might want to add to this, I've never done it before.
