hi,
this is just a curiosity, i think is not so security related, aniway...
if i made a package by my self, or from deb sources, of a package
that already exist on to the debian db, and my "local" package is
called as the official one, when i run then dselect or apt, they overwrite
my local pkg for the official one.
i have to explicity "hold" the local package to not to have overwritten.
why ? they aren't checked only for the version number ? 

Could it be dangerous ? ( e.g. local package was compiled to fix the official
package that was broken and not fixed ) 

TIA

Samuele
