You should have a look at "man apt_preferences". The pinning system is not
the most intuitive, but works quite well. Something like the following
should prevent any packages from origin y except for the package x to be
installed.
Package: x
Pin: origin y
Pin-Priority: 999
Package: *
Pin: origin y
Pin-Priority: -1
