Hello.

I have created a local package repository that I access over my local
network using NFS. I have so far used this repository for managing packages
that I want to install but that are not distributed with Debian. This works
fine but I have now run into a situation where I want to take a package
that already exists in Debian, change it and rebuild it and distribute on
my own machines. This creates a potential problem:

The potential scenario is that I rebuild the source package with my changes
and installs it on my own machines. Some time later the version of the
package in Debian is updated slightly. My machines see that there is an
update in Debian and installs it, replacing the custom package including my
changes.

Is there a way for me to configure Debian so that if a package is installed
from my local repository then updates to those packages should only be
installed from that same repository?

Thank you!
