Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist
When a package is built via 'apt-get -b source <package>', the next run of
'apt-get upgrade' will download the same version of the package from the
archive and install it over the top of the locally built one.
I noticed this when the recent libc6 upgrade happened and postfix started to
complain. So, build postfix locally, all is well. Then upgrade and bingo,
problem back because apt reinstalled the version from the network.
So, I think it would be nice if apt would prefer an installed package when it
has the same version information as the binary package kept elsewhere.
Thanks,
Daniel

Yes, this is desired to support people who are doing potato recompiles of
woody packages.
If you want to not do this then either put the package on hold or change
the version number - which you should be doing anyhow!
