For Debian and Ubuntu it's possible to protect packages against
upgrading. I'm not booted to Debian or Ubuntu now, however, for Arch it'
s possible too,
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /etc/pacman.conf
[snip]
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg = ardour virtualbox virtualbox-host-dkms virtualbox-host-modules virtualbox-ext-oracle
[snip]
IIRC for Debian it's called "lock package" by Synaptic, I don't remember
how it's called by apt, but Google does help:
