It sounds like you want to put your kernel on hold. That will stop apt and dselect from upgrading a package. In order to put a package on hold for example:
echo ''linux-image-2.6-686 hold'' | dpkg --set-selections although, you would replace the package name with the one you use.If you are comfortable with dselect I'd say use it. I'm just not familiar with it myself. But as I've found out, it's just a front end to apt, hey, learn something new every day!
