apt-get upgrade replaces user-compiled packages

[brichardson@lineone.net (Bruce Richardson)]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19

If I compile my own debs from source, apt-get upgrade will frequently
(but not always) replace my version with the stock version, even though
I compiled from the same source package that produced the stock version,
even though my compiled deb and the stock version have exactly the same
version number.  

So I have to set my verion to hold - and then I have to keep on checking
on the website for new versions, because apt can't help me any more.

I have no way to predict whether apt will try and do this with a
home-compiled package.
