Feature, and I don't think it is well documented. The end result is that
APT can differentiate between some 'same version different compiles'
situations and in that case it 'upgrades' to the version in the archive
which is presumably newer.
If this is undesired there are two options:
1) Hold
2) Recompile and change the version number like you are supposed to
